AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am) is a unique portrait of an orangutan leaning against a cracked edge, displaying an extraordinarily human, contemplative and pensive gaze. The artist movingly captured the animal’s wisdom as well as its emotional depth. The painting enchants with free, expressive brushstrokes, a vivid palette of coppery and reddish fur tones contrasted with an ochre-golden background and exquisite texture. The work combines themes of animal art with magical realist philosophy.

Signature: Fully original work, signed by the artist in the lower left corner (Sudak '26).
