In art history dog had the only function of decorating the scene, increasing the impression of sweetness or creating some tension in the painting. This painting shows my girlfriend Martina walking with her bulldog in the nature. This is a contemporary way of representing escape to the nature, also a bit ironic, cause of the breed which was created by man and belongs to the same urban environment as his master

The painting was made using a photo which was made with my mobile phone during a visit to Maastricht with fellow artists from Glo'Art.
It was first of our weekend excursions, and we were still kind of strangers to each other. This is why everybody is shown from the back, without characterisation. Although it is painted realistically the street is also chosen so it is not recognizable at first look, it could rather be any of Maastricht streets
