About the artwork

In this picturesque scene, we see a serene and somewhat surreal scene centred on a black-and-white cow. The cow sits quietly on a sturdy wooden swing suspended from thick moss-covered ropes attached to the branches of an old tree. The setting exudes a rural charm, with lush green grassland and a misty, overcast sky giving the scene a melancholic, but also tranquil atmosphere.

The cow is drinking with a straw from a glass bottle of milk she is holding with her front legs, as if enjoying a moment of introspection and simplicity. Her large, friendly eyes seem to stare contentedly into the distance, as if she is in harmony with her surroundings. The bottle of milk, a symbol of her own contribution to life on the farm, adds a touch of humour and irony to the scene.

There is something magical and dreamlike about the setting. It seems to be a moment that escapes reality and takes us into a world where animals exhibit human behaviour. The contrast between the overcast sky and the vivid green of the grassland enhances the atmosphere of stillness and reflection.

"Enjoying my milk" is an ode to the simplicity of farm life and the tranquillity of nature, with a playful nod to the human tendency to see meaning and stories in the smallest details. Surrealism.
