Artwork Description:

Size:66 x 46 in.

Harry Skeggs’ striking original piece Matriarch, measuring 60" x 40", captures the raw majesty and grace of a herd of African elephants, led by a towering matriarch. Rendered in black and white, this evocative image conveys both the strength and vulnerability of these magnificent creatures, set against the vastness of the open plains and a sky scattered with soft clouds. The monochromatic palette enhances every detail—the weathered texture of their skin, the curve of each tusk, and the heavy, deliberate grace of their movements.

True to Skeggs’ artistic philosophy, Matriarch is a testament to his deep respect for wildlife and his skill in portraying animals not as subjects, but as sentient beings with individual personalities. His patience and empathy are evident in the calm dignity of the scene, as the elephants exist entirely in their own world—wild and free. The matriarch, strong and resolute, embodies the essence of leadership and guardianship within the herd.

Harry Skeggs is celebrated for his ability to blend fine art with a powerful conservation message. His award-winning work is frequently featured in National Geographic and international exhibitions. Driven by a passion for protecting wildlife, Harry uses his photography as a voice for conservation, ensuring every image is both beautiful and meaningful.
