The ethics of care makes possible the connection of ecofeminism, art and animals understood from the notion of multispecies. The ecofeminist understanding of reality has achieved a fundamental role in the development of contemporary art. The ecofeminist perspective brings a new approach to the relationship between the problem of animals and the role of ecofeminist art. The study of ideas, artistic works and artists allows us to understand that the ethics of care is the foundation of the transformation of our current way of understanding and acting towards animals, nature and other humans. The aim of this article is to show the essential connection between ecofeminism, art and animals that is currently evident in thinking and artistic activity.
