Levriero su piedistallo Drawing

This original 2021 drawing from the series “Animali su Piedistallo” features a greyhound's head rendered in graphite on paper, enhanced with manually applied pure gold leaf. The work explores themes of cultural hierarchy by placing an ordinary animal on a traditional pedestal, symbolizing power and reverence, while inviting reflection on human perceptions and biases. The patterned golden background heightens the contrast, creating a sense of displacement and deeper contemplation.
