Description
“Damanius” – Oil painting on canvas – Portrait of a Black Rhino
The creation of “Damanius” is more than a demonstration of artistic skill—it is a heartfelt tribute to the raw power and fragile existence of the black rhino, an ancient species now on the brink of extinction. Since childhood, I have been captivated by this animal, embodying both untamed strength and a poignant vulnerability in the face of modern threats.
With this painting, my intention was to capture the very essence of this majestic creature. Every wrinkle, every shadow, and every glimmer of light tells the story of its enduring presence through the ages. The palette—ranging from deep vermilion reds to ultramarine blues—infuses life into its features, while the interplay of warmth and coolness emphasizes the duality of its existence: powerful yet imperiled.
Creating Damanius was an all-consuming, meditative process. For weeks, I lived in the rhythm of its contours, obsessed with each detail, each imagined movement. As the painting took form, it began to gaze back at me, exuding a presence both commanding and sorrowful. This silent dialogue between artist and subject reflects the urgent need to protect what is rare and precious.
“Damanius,” meaning “The Indomitable” in Latin, is more than just a portrait. It is a reminder—a silent plea—to safeguard this majestic creature. This painting invites viewers to feel, reflect, and engage in the preservation of untamed beauty.
