About the artwork

"Tommie" is a digital artwork that brings to life a stylised portrait of a Beagle. With a harmonious combination of soft lines and bold colour areas, the artist captures not only the look but also the character of this beloved dog. The background is kept minimal, consisting of subtle gradients of colour that draw full attention to the subject. Tommie's large, warm eyes are the focal point of the composition and seem to look directly at the viewer, full of playfulness and confidence.

The coat is composed of rhythmic brushstrokes and light abstractions, where shades of brown, white and black are not rendered true to nature, but rather function as expressive accents. These choices give the portrait a lively, almost dancing energy. The contours are clearly defined but not harsh: they suggest movement and friendliness, traits so typical of the Beagle breed.

By using digital techniques such as texture overlay and subtle light reflections, "Tommie" gains a tangible depth, despite its graphic nature. The style balances between realism and abstraction, making the work both emotionally accessible and visually intriguing.

"Tommie" is more than a portrait; it is a celebration of loyalty, adventure and the simple joy of a faithful companion. The artist succeeds in evoking powerful emotion with minimal means, making the work resonate long after the first impression is made.
