Oil PaintDescription
In The Executive, Willard Magiga humorously explores the intersection between power, status, and identity. The painting features a dog dressed impeccably in a navy-blue suit, golden tie, and sunglasses—an image that blends corporate sophistication with animal instinct. The polished attire contrasts sharply with the subject’s primal nature, questioning what truly defines leadership and confidence in today’s world. Through vivid color, smooth brushwork, and a touch of satire, Magiga turns this anthropomorphic portrait into a mirror of human ambition, highlighting the performative aspects of success and the thin line between civility and instinct.Try it!
