Original artwork description:

This evocative soft pastel painting, titled HIPPO BATH, brings to life the majestic essence of a hippopotamus basking in a refreshing bath amidst the sweltering heat of the African summer. The artwork captures a fleeting yet powerful moment as the hippo moves with purpose, creating ripples, bubbles, and splashes that radiate across the water’s surface. Through dynamic brushstrokes and a vivid interplay of colors, the piece conveys both the commanding presence of the hippo and the serenity of its natural habitat.

The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the delicate harmony of the wild—how strength and grace coexist in nature. It celebrates the primal beauty of wildlife, the cooling embrace of water, and the enduring connection between creatures and their environment. This is not just a snapshot of a hippo but a narrative of resilience, survival, and the profound peace found in life’s simplest moments.
