艺术家在她的插图中将老鼠置于人类情境中

Sometimes we wonder what's inside the minds of animals, what are they thinking and what do they do throughout the day. And while we can only guess how the daily life of animals look, one artist decided to imagine it by placing animals in human situations.

有时我们想知道动物的脑子里在想什么，它们在想什么，它们整天在做什么。虽然我们只能猜测动物的日常生活是什么样的，但一位艺术家决定通过把动物放在人类的环境中来想象它。

Lucia Heffernan is an American-Taiwanese graphic designer and oil painter who creates animal illustrations depicting the daily life of animals as if they were humans. Her imaginative works show animals taking long baths with bubbles, stretching their muscles with others in the gym, and sipping expensive whiskey and smoking cigars while playing poker just like in Cassius Marcellus Coolidge's painting "Dogs Playing Poker". Though all her illustrations are whimsical, goofy and distinctive, her series featuring mice definitely stands out of the crowd.

露西亚·赫弗南是一名美国籍的台湾平面设计师和油画家，她创作的动物插画描绘了动物的日常生活，仿佛它们是人类。在她富有想象力的作品中，动物们泡着泡泡长时间地洗澡，在健身房和其他人一起伸展肌肉，喝着昂贵的威士忌，抽着雪茄，一边打扑克，就像卡修斯·马塞勒斯·柯立芝的《狗打扑克》一样。虽然她所有的插图都是异想天开，傻傻的和独特的，她的系列以老鼠为特色，绝对脱颖而出。

"My body of work is an expression and exploration of my lifelong fascination with animals. Through my paintings, I seek to give animals a voice and a personality, while making light of our uniquely human existence. By imagining what animals might do if put in human situations, I stage tableaus that shine a spotlight on both their innocence and raw instinct. This collision between animal and human sensibilities creates a whimsical, theatrical, and often humorous world that viewers can relate to on an emotional level" - said the artist to Bored Panda.

“我的作品是对我一生对动物的迷恋的一种表达和探索。通过我的绘画，我试图给动物一个声音和一个个性，同时照亮我们独特的人类生存。通过想象动物在人类的环境中会做什么，我布置了一些场景，让人们注意到它们的天真和原始本能。这种动物和人类情感的碰撞创造了一个异想天开的、戏剧性的、经常是幽默的世界，观众可以在情感层面上与之产生共鸣。”艺术家对Bored Panda说。

The artist says that she has been drawing since she can remember and constantly experimenting with different styles of contemporary realism. This has helped her to form her unique style, technique and a good sense of humor. So we invite you to step into this imaginary world where mice are living the best of their lives and everything is possible.

这位艺术家说，她从记事起就一直在画画，并不断尝试不同风格的当代现实主义。这使她形成了自己独特的风格、技巧和幽默感。所以我们邀请你进入这个想象的世界，在那里老鼠们过着最好的生活，一切都是可能的。
