Elephant in an Open Book

Description

This mixed-media artwork presents a majestic elephant emerging from the pages of an open book, rendered in textured shades of gray against layered color. Handwritten phrases, a small human figure, and the date “13 November 2018” add a reflective, story-like quality. Turquoise, yellow, burgundy, and white create lively contrast throughout the composition, while the elephant’s gaze brings quiet strength to the scene. It would make a distinctive addition to a reading nook, study, or creative space.

Artist

I create vibrant portraits and abstracts where color, texture, and human stories meet. Inspired by movement, memory, and everyday joy, my work invites reflection and connection.
