The African buffalo is not only muscle and horn — it is the pulse of the wild, the rhythm of survival that our ancestors honored in ochre and stone. In cave paintings, these creatures were painted as symbols of unity, resilience, and the sacred bond between people and nature. This canvas continues that ancient conversation, affirming that Africans were the first storytellers of conservation, using art as a covenant with the wild. The buffalo, eternal in spirit, reminds us that to protect the herd is to protect the heart of Africa itself.

The Buffalo (unfinished)

Elephants have always walked not only our lands, but also our spirits. In the ancestral caves of Africa, our forebears painted animals not as subjects to conquer, but as sacred kin — guardians of balance, wisdom, and survival. This work, in semi-abstract dialogue with those ancient marks, reaffirms what has always been true: Africans were the first artists, the first conservationists, and the first to understand that protecting wildlife is protecting ourselves. The elephant, timeless and eternal, reminds us that our story and their story are one.

The rhino is more than strength in flesh and horn — it is memory carved in spirit. Long before borders and battles, our ancestors painted such creatures on cave walls, not as trophies, but as sacred emblems of endurance, fertility, and balance. This work echoes that ancient vision, reminding us that Africans were the first to honor wildlife through art, and the first to guard them through reverence. In every brushstroke lives an ancestral vow: to protect what is rare, to conserve what is sacred, and to walk with the rhino as kin across time.
