Why Donkeys

Mixed media (acrylic, collage, inks, oil pastel) · 150 × 125 cm · 2010

This piece is a journey into contrasts and harmony. Why Donkeys brings together shades of gray, black, and white, touched with soft warm hues, to give life to four zebra-like donkeys. They are painted not just as animals, but as symbols — broken down, reshaped, and rebuilt. The black-and-white lines that run across the canvas feel like musical beats, carrying the eye from one corner to another. At first, the donkeys appear familiar, almost real… then suddenly, they dissolve into abstraction, asking you to see them with new eyes. It is a work that speaks of transformation, rhythm, and the hidden beauty in the ordinary.
