Phillip, Innocent and I, 2023

All cat owners know or at least suspect that these wayward animals bring a lot of luck. A cat is a conductor of energy, connecting our world with the beyond. Therefore, it is important to be on good terms with your cat. Of course, the artist Konstantin Lupanov knew this, so he did not fail to bring a cat for a self-portrait. Everyone in the picture, the painted man, the cat and the artist himself, have a lost look. It seems that they themselves do not know what brought them here. Perhaps the viewer can help answer this question.
