Did You Know?
The Poodle’s name comes from the German word meaning “to splash in water,” a fitting tribute to their strong swimming abilities and quick reflexes. Originally bred as water retrievers, these intelligent dogs are not only graceful and athletic but also highly trainable.
With every piece I create, my goal is not only to inspire and entertain but also to educate—embedding fascinating facts like these directly into my artwork.
For this Poodle piece, I carefully selected words like athletic, beloved, and spoiled, along with phrases such as “good herders,” “likes a challenge,” and “good assistance dogs.” In total, you’ll find over 30 words and phrases hidden throughout this artwork, each one celebrating the elegance and intelligence of this remarkable breed.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
