The oversized figure of Venezuelan artist Koz Dos is trying to push out of the wall, as can be seen by the gesture of the two hands. Koz Dos is famous for his photorealistic and colorful portraits, which he combines with geometric shapes and patterns. Often, his protagonists wear these typical animal hats. He creates imaginary characters where the naturalistic depiction of facial features harmonizes with abstract geometric shapes. His representation of these animal hats could be interpreted as drawing attention to the aspect of the survival struggle between humans and animals, as well as the possibility of coexistence between the human and animal kingdom.
