Pauline Mauruschat specializes in watercolor painting, creating intricate and enchanting textures that bring her illustrations of animals to life. Her work features flying horses, demonic dogs, and double-sided tigers, employing a combination of paint and colored pencil to produce detailed imagery. Inspired by her daughters, she views art as a cathartic process and seeks to highlight the connection between animals and people. Her artworks also serve as meditative experiences, reflecting on humanity's disconnection from nature in a modern, social media-driven world.
Finding strengths in the nature of the medium - the bleed and spread of paint on certain canvases - Pauline creates enchanting textures that accentuate her mural-esque illustrations of flying horses, demonic dogs and double-sided tigers.
Although she takes considerable inspiration from her daughters, Pauline is transparent about art as an act of catharsis. "I love to draw animals, people and plants and the connection between them," says Pauline.
Nature, ornaments and patterns are a motif in Pauline's work, they are acts of meditation in their swirling complexions, or as Pauline puts it: "A reason not to think for once."
I think we are moving away more and more from our origin, with social media and the way we live today," says Pauline. "My belief is that what makes us happy is this original connection to the earth and the creatures living in it.
