Cells and Animals sits within Daniel de Polignac’s project of painting the psychology of the present. Working primarily in acrylic, he builds bold, direct canvases around behavior and instinct; here the title sets the microscopic against the animal — cells as the building blocks of life, animals as impulse — and treats both as systems rather than pictures.

The painting is acrylic on canvas, the medium worked for crisp transitions and defined gesture. Structure and spontaneity share the surface: layered color fields hold order while the marks stay alive, echoing the tension between cellular precision and instinct. The square 60 × 60 cm format keeps the composition contained and self-complete.
