De Kat I
(The Cat I)

This drawing was made to honor Pablo Picasso.
This work explores the contrasting personality of the cat. Cats are animals that love to roll around and play but who also have a serious, perhaps darker side.
The circles and curves which divide the cat’s face in this work connect to the cat’s round body, symbolising and expressing the subject’s playfulness.
But at the bottom of the piece are depicted two small feet with the pads that give cats the ability to spy and stalk their prey silently.
The eyes of the cat are gray, expressing the steady gaze which makes cats so unique.
