Piggy PIG Painting

In this vibrant series of oil paintings, a surprising little figure takes center stage: Piggy. A small plastic toy animal, found in the charming city of Leiden. This minuscule figure once stood proudly on a historic pedestal in a public square by the canal. Where passersby paid it no mind, it has captured my heart and is now immortalized in this collection. Each piece in the series radiates the 'shine and show' that this toy animal embodies, with a perky attitude, proud demeanor, and a grandeur that surpasses Piggy's modest size. The colorful, dynamic compositions pay tribute to this little marvel and invite the viewer to recognize and celebrate greatness in the small. As an artist, I am fascinated by how a simple toy animal can evoke so much fun, endearment, and affection. Working with rich textures and vibrant colors, these works initiate a dialogue about the impact of the little things that can play a starring role in our lives.
