Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #239 'A Smiling Mouse And A Hungry Owl'
'A Smiling Mouse And A Hungry Owl'
This is very likely the most ambiguous street art that I've ever seen, so I couldn't resist taking the photo. Why would a depressed owl with a city on her mind be thinking of a smiling mouse? :D What's the green pile under the mouse? No idea. That's exactly why I like it very much. An absolutely vague representation, a non-existent thought, an l'art pour l'art direction? What's more, this is located on the wooden side of a small half-ruined house. Why? No idea! It's just there. The drawings kept me interested for quite a bit as I was trying to solve the riddle but never entirely got to that point. Maybe you guys figure it out better than me.
Colours are pretty much washed out. No idea if it is because of the elements or it was intended to be so. The images are set on a textured wooden surface. The colour objects are painted on boards and then hammered on to the wall. They're not painted on it. The white parts in the bottom and on top put the whole set in a perspective. If cropped out, nobody would be able to tell if it's a wall of a house or just a row of old planks. This is also the sole purpose of the window in the bottom right.
Something just came up to my mind. Maybe we all sometimes feel like that smiling mouse, not aware of all the hungry thoughts all around us. :D
Enjoy! :)

You know the best thing about poetry or art is that they have a lot of meanings. Doesn't mean if you are understanding it in one way the other person would also be thinking in the same way. So I think same goes for this art.Every individual person will come to different conclusion but yeah owl with a city and a smiling mouse is quite interesting.
Merry photo, good mood.
Though I appreciate creative work when I see one, I don't really understand the hype behind most of the celebrated modern arts around. This is an exception though, as looking at it makes one think, maybe that is the original intent of the art, who knows.
hahahaha good one :D
I like the roughness of the backdrop. The house that this is painted on looks like it is falling apart. The house s actually in a depressed state. Maybe the owl is dreaming of a nice city house and depressed about the state of his current location?
What a great scene. Leave it to you to photograph to such great effect.
I think the owl is thinking of the one that got away last night, and that's why he imagines the mouse as smiling.
Thanks for another great photo and thought producer.
I don't usely comment on art but this is iresistable. The creative of the arts and the colour tones makes one keep it as a snap short.
Mr owl is eating is thing bout the mouse does he eat the mouse?
Great one!!!! I like how you elaborate on the picture

Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.”
How I wish it could be so for me. Would have delete everything and start afresh. It ain't easy though. Just a simile.
Great art! I appreciate your post!
