About the Holy Cow! Series
The series of Holy Cow!, grew from a playful idea: what if the spots of the Holando-Argentina cow were not just markings, but clouds? What if the cow could slip in and out of the sky — sometimes an animal, sometimes a cloud, sometimes the sky itself? What if the cow lives not just as pasture animal, but also as cloud, as sky, as mystery?
Holy Cow! plays with humor and reverence. Across cultures, the cow has been seen as a connector of heaven and earth, a symbol of generosity and abundance. In these paintings, cows slip between cloud and pasture, yoga and mandala — living in many dimensions at once. For us mortals, they remind us of our own transitions between places, times, and ways of being.
In this series, you'll see the cow living many lives at once, moving between heaven and earth. And in some way, that reflects my own journey: moving between Canada and Argentina, while carrying ancestries that reach back to Denmark, Turkey, and Syria. Like the cow, I've learned to live in many spaces at once — and to find joy in those crossings.
So Holy Cow! is not only about cows and clouds — it's also about identity, playfulness, and how we see ourselves reflected in the world around us.
Holy Cow! — Cows on Clouds
Where cows swing, clouds drift, and the sky becomes pasture.
Holy Cow! — Cows on Clouds is the playful origin of the whole exhibition. It began with a single image: a cow on a swing, floating among the clouds. That vision revealed the cow as more than an animal — it became sky, cloud, and dream all at once. These paintings blur the line between heaven and earth. Spots dissolve into clouds, and clouds turn back into cows. Whimsical and light, the works remind us of the joy of suspension, of floating, of being held by both gravity and air. For me, this series is about freedom and imagination. It's about looking up at the sky and seeing shapes that invite us to play. The cow becomes our guide into that space — a creature that can walk the pasture, yet also drift with the clouds.
