Difficile capire se si trattino veramente di animali, perchè di animalesco i protagonisti hanno solo le fattezze. I loro occhi esprimono sentimenti e parlano direttamente al nostro cuore: tristezza, tenerezza, solitudine. Alcuni ricordano gli uomini anche nelle pose, come il gattino bianco a letto malato, il cervo in piedi su due zampe o il topo, perfettamente vestito da clochard.

It’s hard to understand if they are really animals, because their eyes express feelings and speak from the heart: sadness, tenderness, loneliness. Some of them remind of men even in the pose, such as the white kitten sick in bed, a deer standing on two legs or a mouse dressed like a tramp.

L’attenzione per gli sfondi e la composizione della flora sono chiaramente ispirate al Rinascimento fiammingo.
Il nostro sguardo, dopo aver fissato a lungo gli intensi occhi del protagonista, si posa sullo sfondo viaggiando tra le verdi vallate.

The backgrounds and the composition of the flora are inspired by the Flemish Renaissance.
After watching the deep eyes of the protagonist, we admire the background and we are lost between the green valleys.
