Painting Tudalez by CLOT | Painting Figurative Animals Oil

This work is born of a contrast that is both visual and symbolic: a deep black background, like a silent night, gives way to the striking whiteness of a wolf in profile. Opposite him, tiny but full of life, is a startled sparrow, frozen in the moment, as it pecks at crumbs on a cold, smooth marble slab. The light vapor of the wolf's breathing floats in the air, creating a palpable, almost sacred tension.

This unlikely face-to-face encounter, on the border between predator and fragility, explores the balance between strength and innocence, calm and the unexpected. The moment is suspended, out of time - as if the world were holding its breath.
