Significance of the artwork:

This artwork teaches us how most of our fears live just in our minds. When the danger behind something is understood, it can become enjoyable.

Also, be prepared: danger may appear just around the corner…

 

Description:

The species of animal shown in the artwork is the quokka. It is an endemic animal that lives on the beautiful “Rottnest Island” (Australia), which received that name because when it was discovered by Dutch sailors it was thought to be infested by rodents of great size. In reality the quokka is more related to a kangaroo than to a rat, they are marsupials, not rodents, and they are very friendly creatures.

This piece represents a situation that would quite certainly give the woman who has just entered the scene a good fright.

Notice the Fibonacci arrangement of the elements, starting from the woman leg, the quokka and then the leaves in the steps, followed by the leaves on the floor, the quokka inside the bronze container and the light shapes on the right wall. In fact, I could not content myself and I have included the beginning of the Fibonacci spiral, replacing the picture on the top of the steps, to help the viewer to find it.

Media selection (paper finish)

Satin – artist’s recommendation (Baryta & Platine)

For this artwork, the artist prefers a satin finish paper: Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag 310 gsm (Palace Edition) and Baryta Photographique 310 gsm (rest of editions), which provide a photo-realistic appearance, with deeper blacks and higher contrast than a matte paper. These papers will provide a greater veracity to the story.

Matte – optionally (Edition Etching)

A matte finish paper will provide a more pictorial look to this artwork. Although for this image this paper finish is not the artist’s preferred option, the appearance of the artwork using a matte paper is also good. In particular, the carpet will benefit using a matte paper, although this is not enough reason for the artist to select a matte finish on this occasion. However, if you are looking for a softer and more poetical look, or you are not very fan of satin papers, then go for this option. We will use Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag 310 gsm, a slightly textured matte paper.
