Elephant Among Leaves
A close-up elephant head emerges through a dense field of leaves, with the curved tusk drawing the eye diagonally across the composition. Mixed media on wood supports layered color, etched linework, and a visibly textured surface that gives the skin and foliage a tactile presence. The cool blue body and warm ochre-orange accents create a vivid, contemplative tension.
