Portraits Of The Human Animal Bond

What is it about animals, and particularly our pets, that allows us to feel comfort?

As a former psychologist who worked closely with animals and suffering humans at a number of therapy centers across the world, artist Aleksandra Szymanska knows first hand how powerful the human-animal bond can be.

That’s why she continues to create magnificent oil paintings which embody the emotion and connection felt within the human animal bond.

Her “Portraits Of The Human Animal Bond” series places an emphasis on gesture, facial expression, and spatial relations between humans and their pets, which makes for a subtle yet powerful commentary on the person’s life and the large role that their pet plays in it.

It’s often said that animals are a mirror of our own emotions, and the ability that they have to help relieve anxiety and transform the human emotion is unquestioned.

If you have a pet that has transformed the way you think and live, then consider a custom portrait painting to display that connection and cherish it forever.
