This painting tries to capture the essence of an octopus and the way his mind interacts with the undersea environ. Squids and octopus are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. In some ways they are more intelligent than humans as witnessed by one octopus in the Monterrey Bay Aquarium who would escape from his tank at night, steal fish from other tanks, and return before morning with his snack. I try to depict this huge intellect with a complex interplay of colors.
The Gulf oil spill highlights the fact that humans share the planet with other creatures and we need to be good stewards of this common property, just as an octopus takes care of his own little backyard. If you are the kind of person who likes art with an eco-theme, email akhadoure@aol.com
