Paintings of pigs were sold for millions of rupees!

The Dhaka Times Desk Did anyone ever think that pigs could draw pictures? Again, his paintings are sold for millions of rupees! This is exactly what happened.

In 2016, a woman rescued a four-week-old piglet from a local slaughterhouse and brought it home. The woman is a painter by profession. While staying with him, one day, the pet chick suddenly picked up paint and started scratching on the canvas placed in front of him. He was named 'Pigkaso' because of his love for colors. Each of these paintings by Pigkaso is currently selling for around 2 to 3 lakh rupees!

The piglet is now quite large. Many renowned artists of the world have caught the attention of the 'abstract art' style pictures painted by him. That's why he got a lot of nicknames, everyone knows him as Pigkaso. Several of Pigkaso's paintings have already gone viral on social media as well.

It is known that a painting by Pigasso was sold for 4 thousand US dollars last year. The money, however, is donated to the Wildlife Conservation Fund.

পিগকাসোর এই জনপ্রিয়তা দেখে বছর খানেক পূর্বে সুইজারল্যান্ডের বিখ্যাত ঘড়ি প্রস্তুতকারী সংস্থা স্বোয়াচ (Swatch) ‘ফ্লাইং পিগ বাই মিস পিগকাসো’ নামে লিমিটেড এডিশনের ঘড়িও উদ্বোধন করা হয়।

Pigcasso lives with Joanne Lefson in an area adjacent to the Frenchchehe Farm Sanctuary outside Cape Town, South Africa. An exhibition of Pigasso's 'Abstract Art' paintings was also held in Cape Town last year, and the enthusiasm of the visitors who came to see the exhibition was palpable! Everyone was interested in seeing Pigasso's paintings.
