Lambs - Ovine Antics: A Pastoral Triptych in Oil on Linen (2024) Painting by Victo

The triptych ""Lambs"" encapsulates the intricate connections between humans and the animal world. Scotland, where wild nature intertwines closely with everyday life, and where locals refrain from consuming wild berries and mushrooms, deeming them poisonous, thus leaving them for deer and rabbits. Here in Scotland, sheep outnumber people—a testament to these intelligent, complex, and joyful beings capable of understanding human facial expressions and favoring a smile.

The ""Lambs"" triptych broadcasts this remarkable coexistence of humans and nature. It presents before us white lambs exuding lightness and joy, reminiscent of childhood days spent gazing at the sky and finding familiar shapes among the clouds. This artwork inspires a shift in our perception of the surrounding world—if you can't change the situation, change your attitude towards it.

This triptych, each panel measuring 30x30 cm on gallery-wrapped linen canvas, is a playful and dynamic representation of sheep in three states of being. The first panel depicts a whimsical stack of sheep, poised and peaceful atop a grassy knoll under a clear sky. In the second, sheep are captured in mid-leap, suggesting movement and freedom. The final panel presents a sheep joyfully rolling on its back, evoking a sense of release and contentment.
