Podenco’s - Christopher Stone

Podenco’s - Christopher Stone

The composition portrays two stylised Podencos interacting in a calm yet dynamic setting. Their elongated bodies, elegant posture, and expressive eyes convey both strength and gentleness, while Christopher Stone's signature black outlines and harmonious colour palette create a striking visual rhythm. The warm earth tones, balanced by soft pinks and golden yellows, evoke the warmth of the Mediterranean landscape where the Podenco has long been admired for its beauty and athleticism.

Influenced by contemporary Expressionism, Cubism, and modern figurative art, Christopher Stone transforms the familiar image of a dog into an expressive artistic statement. Rather than focusing on realism, he captures the spirit and personality of the breed through simplified forms, bold contours, and emotional colour contrasts. The result is a painting that feels both playful and sophisticated, inviting viewers to form their own interpretation.

Podenco's is an exceptional choice for collectors of contemporary art, animal-inspired paintings, and original works with a distinctive artistic identity. Its elegant composition and vibrant colours make it an impressive focal point for modern homes, luxury apartments, galleries, boutique hotels, stylish offices, or any interior that celebrates creativity and individuality.

For dog lovers and admirers of the Podenco breed, this artwork is far more than a portrait, it is a tribute to loyalty, elegance, freedom, and the unique bond between humans and their canine companions.

Biography of artist: Christopher Stone

Christopher Stone, The Lost Artist, is a British sculptor, painter, and designer whose career spans more than five decades. He trained at Hornsey College of Art and Central Saint Martins in London, and spent 18 years working alongside the sculptor Barry Flanagan, contributing to the production of major works now part of the international contemporary art landscape.

Working across sculpture in corten steel, bronze, and fiberglass, as well as painting on paper and canvas, Stone has developed a distinctive visual language combining industrial form, humour, colour, and narrative instinct. His practice moves between large-scale public sculpture and more intimate works on paper, unified by a strong sense of immediacy and composition. His work is held in private collections across Europe and beyond.

Stone is currently exhibiting at the Art and Soul International Sculpture Exhibition in Ireland alongside leading international artists including Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, and Tracey Emin.

He is represented by Gormley’s Fine Art (Ireland) and Olas Gallery (Ibiza). While his career has largely unfolded outside the mainstream spotlight, his work has gained steady recognition from collectors, galleries, and fellow artists over many years of continuous practice.

Based in Ibiza, Stone continues to produce new sculpture and painting, drawing on a lifelong engagement with material, form, and visual storytelling.
