Huile et acrylique sur toile, 2025
Au centre du tableau, occupant tout l’espace, il y a un chien rose et rouge. Il se détache d’un fond gris et se tient sur un sol rouge uni. Le chien est encadré par une forme inspirée de la bande dessinée qui rappelle une explosion. Sa tête est tournée sur le côté et son regard fixe le public.
