Separation (2026)Watercolour by Irsa Ervin

This painting captures a moment of change through a familiar, affectionate subject ‘a French bulldog’. His collar is layered with European flags, while he sits calmly on the Union Jack, creating a quiet but powerful contrast that speaks to the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union.

The work reflects the feeling of separation, the mix of connection, history and identity that lingers even as paths change. The French bulldog, steady and expressive, becomes a symbol of resilience and reflection, grounding a complex political moment in something personal and relatable.

With bold colours and gentle symbolism, this piece invites viewers to pause and consider how change feels, not just how it happens. My artwork is a thoughtful, emotive piece that acknowledges a defining moment in modern history with honesty and sensitivity
