In this mesmerising scene, a hippopotamus sits on a sturdy branch that towers over a dry, almost barren savannah landscape. The imposing animal, normally known for its proximity to water, seems unexpectedly out of place in this arid environment, and yet it appears completely relaxed. The texture of its thick, smooth skin, which glistens slightly in the warm sun, contrasts with the rough bark of the branch on which it rests.
The scene is characterised by a soft, muted colour palette, dominated by earthy tones that emphasise the aridity and vastness of the landscape. Barren bushes and bare branches that wind around the hippo emphasise the feeling of isolation and stillness. The hippo's gaze is directed into the distance, as if it is observing the savannah and caught in a moment of deep reflection.
The animal's unusual position on the branch conveys a sense of calm and serenity, while the contrast between its massive form and the fragile-looking surroundings captures the viewer's attention. It is a picture that impresses with both its surreal composition and the subtle harmony between animal and nature.
