I wanted to paint power without using a single human face. So I gave the suits to animals. Not as a joke, but as a mirror. Each figure is dressed for influence black suits, gold accents, quiet arrogance. The mouse stares like a strategist, the pig wears his top hat like old money, the bull dares you to challenge him. The dog stands loyal, but alert, with a hawk on his shoulder. And the cat poised, unreadable, probably running the whole room. This is more than an anthropomorphic lineup. It’s a portrait of leadership traits exaggerated into fable. Strength, cunning, elegance, greed, patience. I wanted them to look like they were about to shift the stock market or launch a war, then return to their silent boardroom.
By removing the human ego, I made space for satire. Because in a world built on status, sometimes the most evolved face is not even ours.
