Jen’s artworks can easily be recognized for the unusually vibrant and bold colors. According to her website, she’s using 100 percent pure dry pigment soft pastels to create these works of art.

“She paints on an oxidized sanded paper made specifically to grab hold of the small granules of a soft pastel. She first blocks out all major shapes of light and shadow as an oil painter would do, then builds up layer upon layer of color to achieve her final painting,” Jen stated on her website.

Given that the process of creating these painting is so complex, we’re not surprised that the end results are so unbelievable. The artist is hoping that her paintings will inspire people to get in touch with nature more often and to appreciate every animal living on this planet.

“We are all connected on this one earth we share. I hope when you look into each portrait that you feel it too,” Jen wrote on her website.

Otero was born in Barcelona. She got a degree in graphic design in 2011 and worked in a couple of advertising companies. During that time, all she really wanted to do was paint. The first portrait she made was of her friend’s father’s dog, as a Christmas present. There was no turning back – she couldn’t stop painting dogs after that.

The artist doesn’t like being described as surrealist or dadaist. He proposes a new version of reality that can’t really be categorized. 

“Imagine a world based on a different logic; a universe comprised of the absurd and paradoxes,” his website reads. “A dream in which aircraft crash into clouds and snowmen model a human body using flakes of skin. My aim is to turn the narrow vision that we have of the world upside down and disturb our imagination while shaking an accepted reality with images that are as comprehensible as they are familiar. Distorting a symbol or mixing opposing universes allows me to question the identity of things so that I can reinvent them.”

He recently started painting just animals and explained that that’s still the same world. “The animals and kids just haven’t met up yet. Maybe they’re searching for each other.”

Morway explained her style saying: “I don’t mean for them to be read too literally, but rather hope they lend a certain feeling of portentousness to the pieces. I like referencing religious icon paintings and other forms of ‘serious’ historic painting, but using animals and birds in the place of saints, etc. I’m going for the feeling of narrative realism, but working with a narrative that’s mysterious, missing some information, open to the viewer’s interpretation.”
