Bon from Lisbon "Tram 28"

“Bon from Lisbon: Tram 28” is the first piece in a new, playful series that explores character, travel, and personality through a stylized, illustrative approach.

The painting features a black and tan long-haired Russian Toy Terrier, elegantly personified and captured mid-journey on Lisbon’s iconic tram 28. Standing with quiet confidence, the little heroine appears almost human in posture — dressed in a pink outfit, wearing sunglasses, and holding a camera, as if documenting her own adventure through the city.

Rendered in a bright, cartoon-inspired style, this work marks a deliberate departure from realism, embracing lightness, humor, and narrative. The piece invites the viewer into a whimsical world where a small dog becomes a traveler, an observer, and a personality in her own right.

This painting is part of the “Bon from Lisbon” series — a visual story inspired by companionship, everyday beauty, and the joy of seeing the world through curious eyes.

Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 40 cm.
