Here is another questioning: do our bodies really are “natural” bodies? How many of us wear contact lenses, hearing aids, cardiac pacemaker, prosthesis, etc…? Can the “natural body” really exist if “nature” is actually just a cultural material?
This series is a tribute to the Italian paintings from Renaissance. It is inspired by famous secular paintings (Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani” or his “Lady with an ermine”, Lorenzo Lotto’s “Portrait of a young man”, Piero de Cosimo’s “Simonetta Vespucci” etc...). The presence of the animals enhances the emotional side of these portraits, providing a strong emotional link between mankind and existence. (1)

(1) We may quote the biblical passage about the sixth day labor:
"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
