This picture is part of my long series entitled ELEPHANTS.
? The elephant symbolises dignity, wisdom and intelligence. A power animal and very social. MYTH OF THE ELEPHANT: This large painting shows an elephant in the flesh with a golden disc on its forehead. This symbolises mystical Africa. After all, the elephant is the symbolic animal of Africa par excellence and has carried its inner strength and spirit across the savannahs for thousands of years. A very special wild animal that roamed the hot continent in its millions many decades ago. Unfortunately, its numbers have fallen dramatically in a short space of time due to many threats, most notably poaching. Elephant ivory is highly coveted in Asian countries.
? This expressive painting shows the wildness of Africa and the many colours of its inhabitants and nature. Give the elephants a chance by buying this painting and supporting elephant conservation, as part of the proceeds will be donated to elephant orphans in Kenya (Sheldrick Wildlife Trust).
Painted with artist acrylic colours and gold additions in the body and in the disc with gold mica. Enchantingly beautiful and a real feast for the eyes to set rooms in an enchanting light.
❗❗ ? Elephants in the wild are unfortunately threatened with extinction; mainly due to poaching and habitat destruction by humans and climate change as well as other threats!
