Description
From the series “In the absence of God”, oil on paper, 28 x 40 cm, 2015.
The medieval illustrators represented animals that they had never seen, described by others, or derived from mythology. This generated monstrous creatures. From here comes the idea of a common set of animals, which are deformed with the help of redundant decorative codes.
These artworks are made on paper overlaying subsequent layers of oil painting and pencil drawing (I often use graphite not only to emphasize the traits but as a colour itself, to fill and darken entire areas of the drawing).

I like the way you used the green with blue spots for the background, and also the chameleon's eye and nostril. That, plus the edge of the mouth creates a great expression on its face. The tiny, dark ridges were a great way to bring a little distinction among all the green. Very nice
