The exhibition included a series of drawings depicting humanity’s and a lonely person’s best friend: the dog. These drawings feature multifaceted and expressive strays in their daily life. In addition, a few sculptures and a chalk drawing on a cork surface were on display.

The paintings represent different styles from across the years. The colors glow with the fullness and richness of life — something that can easily be forgotten when working alone, yet which can revive even the most hardened soul with renewed faith in connection and the vitality of life within all of us. It speaks to the inner strength that connects us to nature and to one another.
