"Moo in Español"
Acrylic, Oil, and Pastel on Canvas (16x24 inches)
By Miqui, 2024

This striking close-up of a Costa Rican cow presents an enigmatic expression that seems to linger between curiosity and quiet judgment. The cow’s large, unblinking eyes convey a blank stare that draws the viewer in, evoking a sense of being quietly observed. Richly layered with acrylic, oil, and pastel, the painting’s textured strokes enhance the surreal stillness of the moment, while the earthy palette captures the natural beauty of the countryside. With its minimalist expression and bold composition, this piece becomes a tribute to rural life and a subtle reflection of the human gaze.
