zoom in on stunning bold original acrylic painting by danish artist Jonas Skov
He's going bananas!
(Acrylic on stretched canvas)
194cm x 113cm • 76,37 x 44.48 inches
This painting is part of the Almost Human series.
I love painting for this series because it calms me down, gets me into flow fast, and brings out a playful energy in me.
It’s meant to be playful — but not shallow.
We’ve all had moments of real connection with animals:
laughing at them, finding comfort in them,
maybe even experiencing feelings of love or the sadness of losing them.
We are nature, whether we like it or not.
We dress ourselves up and call it “civilized,”
but we’re not that far from the animals we hang on our walls.
Same instincts. Same impulses.
Different clothes.
I keep it playful because that’s how I get close.
But when the connection hits, empathy steps in — and everything change.
We love to feel superior…
and then we turn around and behave like “animals”.
Funny how we say “behaving like animals” — but when it’s the other way around, we never say they’re behaving like humans. Think about it. What is most likely to happen?
So yeah — welcome to Almost Human
This painting is available — if you’d like more information, I’d love to talk.
Mizaru is also offered as a limited edition print
