"Man and Best Friend" tells a touching story of resilience, companionship, and the bond between man and dog. Inspired by a heartfelt encounter in Colombia, this artwork captures human connection and loyalty.
While at a café, I met the man depicted, who asked for change to buy food. Moved by his humility, I invited him to sit and share a meal. He spoke about his life—caring tirelessly for his wife despite financial struggles, with little support from his children. His story touched me deeply, and I knew I had to honor his journey through my art. I asked him to stand proudly as I took photos, determined to capture his spirit on canvas.
I decided to include Bumble, my Romanian rescue dog, symbolizing the unwavering loyalty that makes dogs truly "Man’s Best Friend". The vivid colours and rustic backdrop reflect Colombian culture while emphasizing the humble strength of the subject.
