This unique painting is part of my long series entitled ELEPHANTS. The painting was created in 2016 and was slightly altered in 2024. In addition to the naturalistic depiction of three elephants, I added what I think is a very attractive addition to the surface with golden round areas that have a slight sheen (depending on the incidence of light). These dots symbolise the sand of the savannahs through which the elephants wander to ensure their survival.
? The elephant symbolises dignity, wisdom and intelligence. A power animal and very social. Elephants have trunks and are the largest living land animals on earth today. They live in herds and are very social animals.
Unfortunately, elephants in the wild are threatened with extinction, mainly due to poaching and habitat destruction by humans, climate change and other threats. The greed for ivory continues unabated, especially on the Asian market. There are only around 400,000 specimens left in Africa, which is alarming. When you buy one of my pictures, I donate to elephant conservation projects.
