THE STARTING POINT

A black Shiba sits on a red chair, with an orange tulip covering one eye.
Original photograph

FROM PHOTO TO ART

One moment,
another way of seeing.

The tulip covering one eye is the key identifying detail. A dark background becomes bright colour planes, and the red chair joins the composition.

Take a closer look

An orange tulip covers one eye. Upright ears and a red seat are distinctive, while bright brushwork supports the coat and outline.

If this were your story

Coat markings, ears, eyes and familiar poses matter more than applying a fixed background.

Let this story become part of everyday life.

Keep their familiar expression and companionship in the place you come home to each day.
