We are pleased to announce an important initiative that unites the art of portraiture with solidarity, coinciding with the opening of the photographic exhibition “Through Your Eyes”.

A Solidarity Gesture for Venice’s Stray Animals
The Animica Portraits studio is proud to confirm its active participation in supporting the Association for the Protection of Stray Animals DINGO in Venice.
Throughout the exhibition period and beyond, from November to December 2025, every portrait created by Animica Portraits will be transformed into a Solidarity Portrait.
Transparency of the Solidarity Gesture and the Event
Our commitment is clear and transparent: Animica Portraits will donate 10% of the proceeds from all portrait services performed during November and December 2025 in favour of DINGO.
The services included in this charity initiative are: Family Portraits, Pet Portraits, Custom Portraits, Generational Portraits, Multisensory Portraits, and Maternity Portraits.
This solidarity initiative is specifically linked to the “Through Your Eyes” exhibition, a prestigious charity event. The exhibition is presented by the actress Caterina Murino and showcases the touching photographs by photographer Alessandra Cossu.
We are honoured to include among the supporting bodies for this important initiative the Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro, the Municipality of Venice, and the Biblioteca Civica di Mestre, which will host the event. The exhibition will also see the presence of Barbara Pigazzi, photographer at Animica Portraits, in a moment that unites art and solidarity.
The payment to DINGO will be made in two separate moments: a first donation will be made concurrently with the exhibition, and a second one, concluding the solidarity gesture, will be made at the end of December for a final balance of the entire fundraiser.

Give a Gift, Give a Life: An Unconditional Love
Our four-legged friends are not mere objects, but life companions, souls who deserve the same unconditional love they are capable of offering. Unfortunately, many of them find themselves alone, abandoned, or mistreated.
We invite you to seize the opportunity to give yourself a gift, or an unforgettable one to your loved ones, by commissioning a unique and meaningful portrait. You will not incur any additional cost: the price of your portrait will remain unchanged. It will be the Animica Studio that transforms your purchase into a Solidarity Portrait, directly donating 10% of our compensation to the DINGO Association, without burdening your investment in any way.
Your act of gifting (or self-gifting) a portrait goes beyond art: you will help the DINGO Association financially support all the necessary medical care and assistance for the most vulnerable dogs. Your contribution is a fundamental step in ensuring these special beings a second chance: to finally find a family that will welcome and love them unconditionally forever.
Your portrait, their future.
Help Us Multiply the Aid!
The more portraits that are commissioned, the more donations we can make to DINGO! If you love animals or wish to support those who help others, we ask for a small but powerful gesture: spread the word or share this article with anyone you know who loves animals or wants to help those in need. Together, we can make a difference.
