ANIMAL PORTRAITS
"Onus to Nature"
These portraits are painted to convey the power, awe, beauty, and my reverence of the animal kingdom. Using airbrush I wanted to achieve a synthetic realism to these most vulnerable creatures. The concept behind the collection is to give importance to each animal, how their influence should be acknowledged and their larger than life presence respected. The structure and composition of each unique piece uses the effect of direct eye contact and gives aid to deliver their tenuously threatened and endangered existence on the fragile planet they share with humans.
