This painting portrays a stylized figure gently leaning forward, holding a dog close in a protective and tender embrace. The animal, rendered in dark tones with simple rounded shapes, contrasts with the warm orange body of the human figure. The pale, mask-like face with half-closed eyes creates a feeling of calm introspection. Set against a cool turquoise background, the scene feels intimate and still, suggesting trust, comfort, and quiet companionship.
Such emotional simplicity is characteristic of Patricia Pelsener’s work. Born in Elisabethville on January 26, 1956, she is a self-taught artist who gradually developed her own expressive style through gouache, pastels, oil painting, and papier-mâché. Her paintings often reflect an inner search for meaning and serve as a refuge from the tensions of the outside world. The works of Patricia Pelsener are presented at the Musée d’Art Spontané in Brussels and are also featured in a book dedicated to the artists of the museum.
