The Animal Painting

The animal painting can be traced back to Paleolithic art, when horses, bison and deer populated cave paintings. Totemic figures are also present in ancient art. These are animals that serve as family or clan emblems and are often considered as protective ancestors.

From beloved pets to endangered species, animals are an inspiration for Novica artists. Brazil's Ricardo Siccuro transforms shiny strands of ribbon into animal silhouettes in imaginative surrealist paintings. Supachet depicts Thai elephants in his charming naif works. His simplified line and bright color convey their emotions. Bears lumber across enchanted landscapes in Andrea's luminous works while Arruda Camara depicts creatures of the jungle and savannah in their natural habitats. Bali's S. Basuki creates stylized ink paintings that confer a mythic quality on the creatures that inhabit them. Tones of black in gray paintings intensify the drama of his animal portraits.

Whatever your personal favorite, you'll find the perfect likeness in Novica's Animal Painting Collection. We hope you enjoy exploring our animal paintings by exceptional artists from around the world!
