What is Elephant Art?

Hard to Hold Elephant Japatee Back

There are several different elephant camps in Thailand that have followed the lead shown by the Thai Elephant Conservation Center where I work with the elephant artists, and these other camps now produce some elephant paintings. These are supplied to several local and international websites. While I am very happy to see new endeavours emerge to help Thailand’s elephants in this way, I would not be comfortable to support sources of elephant art that produce paintings that are manipulated by humans. We are intent on providing genuine elephant art of the highest quality. As such we guarantee that every painting we sell is a genuine original that has been painted directly onto the paper by an elephant that has not been aided by a human during the creative process. As explained above, I am involved personally in the creation of every single painting and my role is only to load the paint brushes, not in any way to prompt, direct or otherwise manipulate the painting process itself. This is something very important to me in retaining the full integrity of the finished artwork.
