Detailed description
Picture "Ridgeback and bumblebee" (2022)
The painting belongs to a new connected series "Unequal friends". I came up with this theme because on a walk I saw a rider with a horse and a small dachshund. The two animals were so different and yet they walked in perfect unison. The bumblebees are painted with oil paint and acrylic pencil and the Rhodesian Ridgeback with acrylic paints. The whole dog portrait is outlined with a thick acrylic pencil.
About Marit Symalla
I have been professionally making animal portraits for over 13 years.
To draw and paint I started already in childhood and
also at that time predominantly animals shaped my pictures. In my later
training as a design assistant I learned a lot about the different styles and
about the different styles and designs.
To educate myself further, I visited many drawing and painting courses.
During this time I also started volunteering at the Dresden Animal Shelter.
Through this my passion for animal paintings became stronger and stronger.
I have participated over the years in some exhibitions (group, as well as individual exhibitions)
participated and exhibit permanently at several locations in Dresden, Bautzen and Doberschau.
My intention
Animals live in the moment. Exactly that fascinates me,
because nowadays everything is very fast moving. Most of the time you already think of something new,
while you are still doing something else. I'm a lot with my dogs in nature on the road
and enjoy it just a moment to pause and switch off from everyday life.
Just to be in the here and now.
