Trevisan Carlo - Around the world

In this oil on canvas, the Trevisans address a socially significant topic with their unmistakable style suspended between surrealism and pop art. The work stands out for an approach that blends irony with a deep message of positivity.
The painting is dominated by the figure of a large white cow that occupies almost the entire canvas. Its coat does not follow a natural pattern, but is studded with black spots that faithfully reproduce the shapes of the Earth's continents.
The work originally began as a visual "slogan" to raise awareness about world hunger. The cow, a universal symbol of nourishment and sustenance, becomes the planet itself, representing the efforts of global organizations in fighting food poverty.
True to his own poetics, Trevisan places the subject in a clean, minimalist context, where the precision of the forms helps render the message immediate and universal.
The artist uses a stark contrast between the animal’s pristine white coat and the dark blotches of the skin’s 'world map,' all set within a sunny palette that conveys hope rather than resignation.
Although the figure of the cow is rendered with a certain volumetric solidity, the geographical element inserted on its body transforms the painting into a dreamlike vision typical of the author's "lyrical surrealism".
The application of color is smooth and precise, free of roughness, aligned with the pursuit of beauty and harmony that characterizes Trevisan's entire body of work.
"Around the World" shows that Trevisan's art is not only an escape into a dream, but a tool to reveal reality through paradox. By transforming a common animal into a geographic manifesto, the artist invites the viewer to reflect on collective responsibility toward the planet. The work does not shout drama, but whispers it with the gentleness of a modern fairy tale, emphasizing positivity and trust in change as engines of human awareness.
