The Chic Beasts collection is a playful fusion of two of my greatest passions: animals and fashion. In this series, I bring the elegance of haute couture into the animal kingdom, imagining wild creatures as runway models, dressed in tailored outfits and adorned with intricate accessories. Each painting represents a unique character, blending the boldness and grace of animals with the sophistication of fashion.
The idea behind Chic Beasts came from my long-standing fascination with how both animals and fashion tell stories. Animals communicate through their movements, colors, and postures, much like fashion conveys mood and identity through fabric, cuts, and styles. In these works, crows become dignified aristocrats, owls don regal robes, and monkeys take on the flair of fashion icons.
This collection is not just about style; it’s about identity and transformation. Each piece reflects a balance between natural instinct and the human desire to adorn and express ourselves. I hope you enjoy this whimsical crossover as much as I enjoyed creating it
