#174 – Cousin

This chimpanzee appears very similar to us, and the likeness is exactly what inspired this piece. I have an affinity for painting animals’ faces, close up, where it feels like the animal is looking back at you. My intention is for the animal to meet your gaze, as if they’re focusing on you the same way you’re focusing on them. This chimpanzee has a look of wisdom and knowledge to its eyes and facial structure. The painting is rich in warm ochre browns and cyan oranges, complemented with warm magentas and blues.
