Anger is the basic emotion that has allowed humanity to survive. Anger excites and makes us say things that we sometimes don't even mean. The taxi did not arrive on time, the toys were scattered on the floor, the wife did not cook dinner, the idiot driver was caught on the road. We get angry because our expectations were not met and the goal was not achieved. Meanwhile, anger is one of the deadly sins.
Outwardly, the reaction can be different - from irritation to rage. And if a slight irritation does not harm anyone, then rage makes a person uncontrollable.
Rage in my painting is depicted in the image of a mad dog, which, trying to break off the leash, seeks to attack an opponent. A firm hand still holds her on the taut leash. This symbol indicates that a person must control this emotion so as not to harm others, himself, or his reputation. I chose the image of a dog because I did not want to portray a raging person and show how ugly he is in his anger.
Managing anger isn't that hard. First, you need to look at yourself from the outside. The sight is not pleasant: bloodshot eyes, saliva splashing in all directions, red skin, shaking chin. Do you like it? I hope, not. Therefore, keep yourself on a leash, take care of your loved ones, and be happy and healthy!

Eleonora Taranova was born in a small Ukrainian town in 1971. As a child, she lived in a village house with animals and observed their behavior. She learned to portray the emotions and movements of pets on her own since there was no art school in the town.
After working as a teacher at a higher school for over 20 years, she quit her job for health reasons and took up painting as a hobby. Now she is working as a full-time artist in animalistic and figurative genres for the last 13 years.
Eleonora draws inspiration from the rock carvings' simplicity and expressiveness, the emotionality of the works of Rembrandt and Vrubel, the human form depiction of Francis Bacon, and bright colored works of Franz Mark. Her latest discovery is the works of Danish artist Oluf Hartmann, in which she finds answers to her questions.
Fleeing the war, Eleonora appeared in Denmark where she is based now. The artist researches emotions with the aim of opposing and finding common ground between human and animal psychology. She awakens empathy and pays tribute to animals that fill our lives with devotion and love, and inspire us with their natural beauty. The artist speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves.
