"Spirit of the Wolf" by Joseth Guillas-Ellisade - Original
Artist Statement
Takaya, his life, his death, is symbolic. He is becoming a legend. All those who know his story are touched in their hearts and the desire for change is spreading. I wanted to participate in "Art for Takaya". I started a painting thinking about him. I do my backgrounds with my fingers. When I painted that first background, a wolf appeared in the sky. If you look closely, there's a bit of the bear too. I didn't want to ruin it, so I just painted a seashore underneath, with glaciers. The canvas is a little unfinished, but I like it like this. The spirit of the Wolf (Takaya?) lives in it.
Artist Bio
I'm a computer engineer, as well as an ethologist, writer and photographer. I write under the pseudonym Circé Banks. During the lockdown, I started painting again. We were FB friends, I saw your project "Art for Takaya", it touched me. The protection of biodiversity and the need for a profound change in human habits are fundamental subjects for me. Consciences must evolve and a real reflection followed by concrete actions must be carried out on the place left to the wild world in our societies. Art seems to me to be a very good way to reach out to more people and make more and more of us work to stop trophy hunting, limit hunting, preserve biotopes, etc.].
