"ńā rak & shoop" is a heartfelt piece that holds a special place in my heart, as elephants are my spirit animal. I have always been captivated by their grace, strength, and the deep bonds they share, especially between mother and calf. This beautiful painting was made with love – a mother’s love.
Measuring 18"x24" and created with acrylic and molding paste, this artwork seems to walk off the canvas, bringing the majestic rainforest elephants of Thailand to life. The name "ńā rak" means "CUTE" and "shoop" means "KISS" in Thai, perfectly capturing the tender relationship depicted in this piece.
In the painting, a mother elephant is seen protectively guiding her calf through the lush brush. The textured application of molding paste gives the elephants a lifelike quality, allowing you to almost feel the roughness of their skin and the softness of the surrounding foliage. The mother’s gentle yet vigilant posture conveys her unwavering dedication to her calf, embodying the essence of maternal love and protection.
This artwork was created with deep affection and respect for these magnificent creatures. It represents more than just a scene from nature; it symbolizes the nurturing and protective instincts that resonate universally. I hope "ńā rak shoop" brings as much joy and warmth to your space as it did to my heart while creating it.
It is framed in a distressed antique white frame.
