"There's a whole world beating at our feet, made of small steps and curious glances."

In this watercolor, the protagonist is a little hedgehog, captured in a moment of timid exploration.

I wanted to play on the contrast between the prickly nature of its quills and the infinite sweetness of its little face. It's a work that celebrates kindness and vulnerability, inviting us to rediscover our wonder for the small creatures that inhabit the earth.

The watercolor technique allowed me to render the quills not as weapons, but as an explosion of vibrant textures, where golden brown and umber intertwine with touches of pure white light.

The small, shiny black eyes, along with the small pink paws that peek out, give the subject an almost human personality, capable of establishing an immediate connection with whoever looks at it.
