About The elephant was just pearfect 2/40

Price in USD.

The noble African giant—the elephant has long been a favourite subject for the delightful art of Gillie and Marc. Gillie grew up in Zambia where she acquired a deep appreciation for the beauty and majesty of wildlife. As a child she sadly witnessed an elephant being killed. That image left an indelible mark on her memory which, years later in partnership with her husband Marc has found its way into their artwork.
In this piece the elephant, cast in bronze, is sitting on top of a large gold-coloured pear—an ancient symbol of abundance, fertility and longevity. (Edition 2 of 40)

“Their mission is to use their work as a platform to continue spreading awareness about endangerment, which will ultimately lead to change and save species from extinction.” (From the website—GillieandMarc.art)

The artistic couple enjoy a rare partnership as they are married and have worked together as artists for more than 25 years. Gillie and Marc are passionate environmental activists who have used their sculptures, paintings, and photographs to celebrate and save endangered animals. Every year, they donate thousands of dollars earned from their art sales to many international animal charities. Their work is exhibited and sold throughout the world.
