A kitten lies on her side in the ferns. She looks dreamily ahead. Could she be dreaming about the old days, when felines roamed wild forests?
The inspiration for this work was my own kitten. She likes to lie in this pose on the windowsill above the heater. It's nice and warm there. I sketched her as she lay enjoying herself. When cats dream, their muscles sometimes seem to contract at an accelerated rate while dreaming about hunting or other daily events.
Sometimes I wish I could see what images pass by her retina.
The emotion in this work is poetic. It is a dream of my kitten in ultimate tranquillity, in a landscape she invents herself.
The technique I used for this work is pen on paper and copic marker. The whole thing has been post-processed in Photoshop. I think this work is very suitable for people who have a romantic feeling with nature. Of course, it is also nice for animal lovers and cat lovers in particular. It is a piece of poetry for your wall.
My work distinguishes itself by strong colours and clear shapes. I work with ecoline, ink and pencil, but I also like to cut and paste.
I get my inspiration from nature and like to daydream. Animals and people sometimes seem to melt together in these reveries.
Besides my children's book..
