The painting titled “Martichoras” appears to capture an intriguing fusion between human and animal, evoking both wildness and familiarity. The image of a four-legged being, covered in hair except for its human hands and its tennis-shod feet, creates a strange and fantastic atmosphere. The kneeling posture, in the starting blocks, adds tension: the gridded background evokes a cage opposing captivity to wild nature.
