The Painted Giant - Original Oil Pastel Abstract Elephant 9x12

Original Oil Pastel Artwork — 9x12 on Black Pastel Paper
 
Bring bold color and soulful presence into your space with this original elephant portrait, created in vibrant oil pastels on a deep black background. The contrast makes every hue—golden yellows, electric blues, rich greens, and warm reds—glow with intensity, giving the piece a luminous, almost sculptural feel.
 
This artwork captures the elephant head‑on, emphasizing strength, wisdom, and emotional depth. Layered strokes and textured marks create movement across the ears, trunk, and tusks, giving the portrait a dynamic, expressive quality. The black backdrop enhances the drama and allows the colors to take center stage.
 
Hand‑drawn and signed by the artist, this piece is perfect for collectors who appreciate colorful, contemporary wildlife art with personality and presence.
 
Each mark is hand‑drawn, making this a one‑of‑a‑kind original.
Signed by the artist on the front.

Care Instructions for Pastel Artwork: Pastel paintings are beautifully vibrant and long‑lasting, but their surface is delicate. Keep the artwork in its protective sleeve until you’re ready to frame it, and avoid touching the surface directly. For best preservation, frame the piece under glass using a mat so the artwork doesn’t touch the glass. Please do not use spray fixative, as it can darken or change the colors. Display your artwork away from direct sunlight or harsh lighting to keep it bright and beautiful for years to come.
