Of Cat and Dogs and One Black Horse (2019) Digital Arts by Nikolina Petolas

'Of Cat and Dogs and One Black Horse'
90cm x 64.8cm ( 35.4 x 25.5 inch) limited edition of 5 plus 2AP

My works are complex photo collages based on my own photography. I have been collecting photographs for over a decade. It is a long process of combining carefully selected photography fragments and illustrated parts, which are then transferred to computer and further digitally enhanced.

By using real life photographs and textures I give my work a feel of realism, although the themes are far from being realistic…"

"Sometimes it is quite difficult to find a human within.

Catwoman had a lots of fun being half cat. She could see in the dark, she was very flexible and could enter all the narrow places in her palace....and most important, she could also die from time to time, without too much worry what happens after death, as she had nine lives to live or waste as she pleased.
But from time to time, she missed being human, with all the good things that only humans could do.
One Monday morning, after the crazy weekend when she accidentally died twice, the catwoman felt really blue. She thought how it would be to have the power to become human, even for a few days.
Few days later a black horse came to her palace and told her that among all the dogs that lived in the palace, there was a special dog who knew where to find a blue magic worm that was hidden somewhere in the soil of the nearby forest.
The worm had all kinds of great powers and one of them was to turn catwoman into human again.

Catwoman had so many dogs in the palace, that she couldn't possibly tell which dog could be the one who could find the magic worm.
First she thought it was the truffle dog, but after hours of searching the forest, she came home only with a kilo of truffles.
She had no other choice then to bring all the dogs from the palace into the forest in order for one of them to find the special worm…"
