Cells and Animals by Daniel de Polignac Acrylic Painting

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.
