About the art piece:
For a long time I’ve being wishing for cat and a few moods ago I decided to look for a kitten. It wasn’t easy but I finally came across Cosmo. I named him after the cosmic anergy that have guided me towards him.
I decided to make a portrait of us because caring for him has change my life in a very positive way.
After all he’s like a son to me.
