Animal Refuge Painting

Meet my funny animals in pajamas ! Striped, speckled, mottled, often represented larger than life and always with high flying colors, these wild beasts look at you right in the eye. For these last decades, our relations to the animals have widely changed. Their natural habitat has shrank dramatically et parks, zoos and refuges have became the last resort to preserve whatever individuals are left from a once large population. We do not see beasts without a soul anymore but socialized animals with their character, their moods, their personality. We cannot keep from interpreting their attitudes as reflecting some facets of our own human comedy. This is some of the aspects that I try to transmit in my work.
