(PICTURED Pigcasso during the process of painting her Elephant masterpieces) Trading her slop for the brush, this painting pig has channelled her inner artist, joyfully presenting her work for the world to see. Her talent has donned her the name 'Pigcasso', and currently paints outside a barn at a farm sanctuary in Franschhoek, South Africa - which her owner calls hog heaven. Joanne Lefson, 50, founder and director of Farm Sanctuary SA, and curator of Pigcasso's portfolio, got the idea to set the animal up with a canvas after watching Dumbo. Pigcasso was saved from being slaughtered at just six months old, and is now living her best life, spending her days painting whenever she can.,Image: 745897140, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: It is not permitted to use or publish this image in a way which does not reflect a fair and true representation of the original context or in a manner which might be defamatory to any person or body or which is likely to bring the image Caters News or its licensees into disrepute., Model Release: no

- (PICTURED PIGCASSO ) This talented pig, known as Pigcasso, has created a unique painting in solidarity with Ukraine. Joanne Lefson, 49, from Franschhoek, South Africa, is the proud owner of Pigcasso, a 700kg rescued pig, who has painted a profound piece of art that includes Ukrainian colours. Joanne, who runs an animal sanctuary, says that six-year-old Pigcasso also unbelievably chose to draw an unhappy face in red on the painting which she thought was symbolic. She added: "It was a profound moment for me when Pigcasso chose red to draw an unhappy face because it is the colour of Russia. The unhappy face also symbolises the war and devastation that is taking place in Ukraine.,Image: 669605185, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: It is not permitted to use or publish this image in a way which does not reflect a fair and true representation of the original context or in a manner which might be defamatory to any person or body or which is likely to bring the image Caters News or its licensees into disrepute., Model Release: no
