Abstract Mixed Media Painting

Dog No. 8 is part of the limited One Hundred collection, a series dedicated to the animals that surround us and shape our lives in quiet but profound ways. This line grew from the reflection that fauna is not just near us—it is part of us, influencing how we feel, think, and exist. In this work, the dog embodies loyalty, companionship, and trust.

Stripped of unnecessary detail, the form is reduced to its essence—direct, honest, and clear. The choice of one bold color underscores this purity, creating a straightforward image that speaks beyond surface beauty. Textured plaster adds depth to the canvas, giving the painting a sculptural quality. This tactile layer makes the subject both more vivid and more fragile, a reminder that living beings—like these works—require care. They cannot be folded or diminished; they are meant to hold their presence, just as animals hold their place in our world.

Dog No. 8 resists trends and fleeting aesthetics. Instead, it offers timeless stillness, capturing not action but presence. It is a portrait of coexistence—between human and animal, viewer and artwork, form and emotion. This piece is more than representation. It is a quiet homage to life itself, a recognition that what is finite and limited is also what must be most deeply valued.
