Original artwork description:

TUNA
The Solitude of the Canned Animals is a series painted with acrylic colors and pastels on canvas. The pictorial language recalls the surrealist cartoon and pop style.
This work is painted on a book page glued to wood.

One day, looking at the drawing of the grazing cow on a can of tinned meat, I was surprised by the obvious thought that that box kept the remains of an animal, like a kind of small sarcophagus or a funeral urn.

These are small-format works, mounted in decorated vintage frames, in the style of certain collections of old family photos.
The frame is in gilded wood.

Materials used:

Canvas, acrylic paints, coloured pencils, coloured chalks
