Title: Aurora Schweizer
Medium: Oil on linen
Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm
Year: 2024
Style: Pop-surrealist Baroque with courtly humor and anthropomorphic animal representation.

Description:
Aurora Schweizer depicts an anthropomorphized cow dressed in lavish Baroque attire, crowned with a voluminous lavender wig of perfectly sculpted curls. The cow winks charmingly while sipping milk through a straw, holding the glass delicately with a hoof. Her dress, adorned with lace and brooches, evokes 18th-century nobility, yet her playful expression adds a cheeky, modern twist.

Meaning & Significance:
This work offers a satirical take on excess, femininity in power, and the performativity of public image. The cow—traditionally a symbol of nurture and abundance—is reimagined as a courtly diva, both ironic and endearing. A refined animal portrait that challenges our notions of status, vanity, and theatrical humor.
