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?
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.
So Holy Cow! is not only about cows and clouds — it is also about identity, playfulness, and how we see ourselves reflected in the world around us.
1. Cows on Clouds
Where cows swing, clouds drift, and the sky becomes pasture.
The playful origin of the whole exhibition. It began with a single image: a cow on a swing, floating among the clouds. These paintings blur the line between heaven and earth. Spots dissolve into clouds, and clouds turn back into cows.

2. The Pop-Art Series
Where repetition meets play, and the ordinary turns iconic.
The series explodes with color and bold contrasts. The cow is multiplied across pinks, yellows, oranges, and blues — a playful nod to pop-art traditions of repetition and vibrant palettes. The cow becomes an icon, glowing with humor and warmth.

3. Between Hides and Clouds
Where spots become clouds, and the cow lives many lives at once.
A meditation on transformation. The black-and-white spots of the Holando-Argentina cow dissolve into drifting clouds. At the center is the large canvas From Cow to Clouds — the painted cow emerges from a draped hide, half-covered in fabric, half-dissolving into clouds.

4. The Mandala Series
Where cows become yogis, mandalas bloom, and the sacred meets the playful.
Cows step into yoga and meditation poses, their bodies filled with mandalas that echo both playfulness and the sacred. Each cow becomes balance, breath, and quiet joy — a living mandala that connects heaven and earth.

5. The Urban Series
Where the extraordinary cow steps quietly into everyday life.
The Urban Series places the whimsical cow in ordinary settings: on docks, at sunsets, beneath vast skies — suddenly filled with humor, tenderness, and quiet wonder.
