About The Artwork
Location: Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe Subject: African Bull Elephant (Life-size) Poetic Narrative: These tusks they are his legacy, But they are not all, For in his grandeur he is more than ivory. In prehistoric poise and with a thunderous perfection, He rumbles in content for he is his own protection. A gallant soul his presence echoes, Felt by all, even the smallest geckos. His armour is thick, his step is soft, With a mind that is sharp he keeps his head aloft. Through seasonal cycles, And seeing lives recycled, The journey has been a challenge but he has earnt his title. This weathered warrior’s skin is cloaked, With feats of wisdom and might his tale he wrote. A true testament to countless generations of gracious giants, He stands with a life and being, that is more than science. In him there is a true serenity, One, which makes him a wondrous entity. Drawn to his grace and charm, This celestial being calls with a magnificent calm. Like the moon to mother earth’s pull, Your heart is fixed until you get your full. And as an encapsulated flurry of fluttering wings orbits this sentient soul, We see the true gravity of an African giant is not just two tusks but the whole. ©Mahdhav Sarna

As an Artist my work is not intended to be simply a portrait of an animal; instead my mission is to convey a glimpse, a momentary pause from the life of that being. My visual palette and poetic narratives draw inspiration from eastern wisdom of the Auras, which reflect our emotional energy and signify our vibrancy of life. This influence is utilised to highlight the unifying force or soul that resides equal in all beings, transcending the physical form. Some of the artwork includes original, emotionally charged poetry, which gives voice to this moment, to the soul portrayed in the piece. Through original poetry and richly visual artworks, I hope to explore the deeper connections that run spiritually, emotionally and experientially between all beings; with a goal to help motivate a new perspective of care, awareness and respect for our planet’s wildlife. Predominantly working with life-size subjects, I wish to not put an image of that animal on display, but rather, show that being to you in its full grandeur. Tackling challenges of conservation and eco-harmony, my art aims to portray the lives around us as a part of us; in the same way that we are all part of what Ancient Greek teachings term Gaia: the complex living being that is Mother Earth.
