We have hinted before that something unique was happening and here it is. The Swiss cow has been painted by the artist, Lynn Valance! A big thank you to Lynn for not only painting the cow but also answering a couple questions.
- What influences your style?: The world is a great influence. If you walk through the world with open eyes everything from a simple flower to the world’s highest building can be inspiring.
- What did you think about the UAE before you came here and what has changed?: I only knew Dubai from what we see on TV. When I came here I was amazed at how multicultural the city is. I really like it here but it is very different from Switzerland.
- What is the most unique “canvas” you have worked on?: Before the cow it was a shipping container and Bulgari perfume bottles worth hundreds of Francs. This cow though is the most unique because of all of its curves which makes it technically challenging.
- What piece of art should every person see at least once?: That is a very difficult question. There are so many inspiring pieces and artists. I love Andy Warhol and looking at street art because it is made by someone for everyone to enjoy and I find that very inspiring as a concept and an act.
