Original artwork description:

For two years now I have been living on an island called Mallorca, that has won my heart. Every time I see his silhouette, I think how much he looks like a cow. And I was sure that everyone in the people saw it too. And what was my surprise when I shared my thoughts with my husband, and he said that he did not notice this. And my friends didn't notice it either. Then I thought: "Why does everyone know that the boot on the world map is Italy, but they don't know that there is a beautiful island in the Mediterranean that looks like a cow. I need to make Mallorca as famous."
In this work, I wanted to get away from realism and correctness, to do something rebellious, not usual for me. And the picture turned out completely the way I wanted to see it. It looks like a street graffiti and a fresco at the same time. Divorces and color transitions are beautifully mixed with each other, making the picture tableau. At the same time, black lines add graphics and look like an aerosol spray.
For this painting, I used not quite a standard canvas, it is synthetic. On large formats, it is often winning, as it is more durable and time-resistant.
