About The Artwork
Ideal for cheeses, cold meats, crackers and dips, this handmade piece is not only practical, but ornamental as well. The hippo is an underrated giant that should have been given his place among the big five. Locals fear him more than a leopard or lion, for this 3 to 4 ton water-horse can run up to 30 miles (ca. 48 km) an hour, is very territorial and has little patience for those who needs to share the river with it. With a jaw strength that can snap through a whole watermelon like a grape, it currently holds the position as the herbivore with the strongest bite in the world and is responsible for the most human deaths among all African animals, including crocodiles. This art piece does not just represent the beauty and strength hidden beneath the surface of our African river, but makes for a great conversation starter around the table.

South Africa
A dreamer and nostalgic being, I capture moments that we tend to miss. I bring new light to what is considered a normal event. Sometimes we are too busy to notice it. Sometimes it exists merely for a millisecond, and even cameras struggle to capture it. Sometimes, in its simplistic and innocent portrayal, we miss the essence of what makes it beautiful. By combining a highly saturated colour pallet, and a carefully chosen layout, the purpose of my art is to give you new perspective on something you would have taken for granted... or even missed.
