Profoundly Playful Minis — DANA DONATY

The Pareidolia Minis series explores a world where fantastical creatures roam free and frolic, mostly unfettered by humans.

These works are based on Donaty’s maximalist painting series, Pareidolia, where she paints larger-than-life human figures imposed upon a playground full of tiny creatures. A narrative that speaks to the paradoxes of freedom and equality in an out-of-scale, absurd, surreal world
