This weekend I watched "Le Fabuleaux destin d'Amélie Poulin" for the 474th time, and as it is full of small details, I discover new things every time I watch it. This time, I decided to find out whose paintings were hanging on her walls and discovered the work of Michael Sowa. So I went to a bookstore to see if I could find something, and there it was: Sowa's Ark - An enchanted bestiary.
Sowa is a German illustration artist. His works remind me a little of Magritte's paintings, but in his illustrations, you'll find cows, pigs, dogs, and other funny characters surrounded by surreal and exquisitely drawn environments. It took me back to my childhood when I believed in talking toads and magic furniture. For your beautiful eyes: Michael Sowa.
