Giaguaro su piedistallo Drawing

The drawing “Giaguaro su Piedistallo” from 2021 features a graphite depiction of a yawning jaguar’s head placed atop a classical pedestal against a patterned background accented with pure gold leaf. Part of the “Animali su Piedistallo” series, this artwork challenges conventional cultural and artistic hierarchies by elevating an animal subject typically considered ordinary to a position of reverence and contemplation. The contrast between the natural form and the decorative elements invites reflection on human perceptions of significance and value.
