If there is one thing we love just as much as design, it’s
animals! By mixing both together we can create a loveable masterpiece. We have collaborated with one of the most talented animal
artists, Angela Rossi, who shares our love of animals!

mixed media portraits.

We asked her a few questions…
What inspires you?
I tend to view people as animals and can usually remember a
person by the animal that they remind me of rather than their name or other
quality. It came naturally for me to want to create anthropomorphic
portraits. I love the contrast they bring to the classical
portrait. I think it adds a bit of humor and casual appeal to a formal
and longstanding tradition.
What is your
favorite animal?
When I was 7 years old I developed a theory that there were two
kinds of people in this world: people that loved horses and people that
loved monkeys. I am a monkey lover.
Make that
three kinds, I’m a penguin lover!
What
influences you?
The juxtaposition of highbrow classicism with a sense of humour
is the greatest influence in my work. One of my favourite things about working
with animals is that they naturally don’t smile which leaves their vast
expressions open to a variety of interpretations.
Hope you liked today's blog, what's your favourite animal art?
