About the artwork

This painting shows a sheep straight ahead, in warm, layered brushstrokes that feel almost tangible. The thick texture of the paint emphasises the woolly coat, with shades of ochre yellow, cream and shadows in grey-blue and dark brown. The eyes are barely visible, evoking a mysterious calm. The animal is not really looking, just there. Firm, silent, almost meditative.

This composition exudes calm and slowing down, ideal for an interior in need of a natural, earthy counterpart to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Perfect for lovers of the outdoors, craft and texture. The robust paint treatment gives the work a tangible presence, as if the animal could come to life at any moment. This work fits beautifully in a rural home, a modern rustic interior or for someone who feels connected to nature and the rhythms of the land.

My inspiration for creating a collection of animal portraits was inspired by my childhood, growing up among animals. My parents kept goats and sheep, among others, and that is where my love for nature and animal life was born. Each animal had its own character, its own look, its own energy, and it is precisely this diversity that still fascinates me. In these paintings, I try to capture not only the form, but especially the soul of the animal.
