Animals Animals kept crawling in so it was inevitable to incorporate them into these Venus of The Hague series. After the last one I felt I did not exhaust the surrealist theme yet. Besides that, I also thought that abstracting the motif further would not bring me more that I already did. The first animal I saw was a lioness in her thight. Secondly I saw the hares in her buttocs but they took some more time to fold together. Such pareidolia is a guilty pleasure I often endulge in when I am doing these kind of surrealist drawings.They enable me to show more than one single motif. Nothing pleases me more than people telling me they saw a nude at first sight. Turkey The turkey was a lot more difficult to get hold of. I could not make something else of the conical shape of the hairdo than the tail feathers of a turkey. In retrospective it all makes sense but that always happens to artists. I remember Dali once said something similar. In this particular case it was about predators
