The painting by Ralf Koenemann shows the impressive face of an elephant. A special artistic decision is to highlight the elephant's ears with opaque golden brushstrokes. This accent creates a striking contrast with the other colors and adds dimension and visual appeal to the painting. The gold tones create an aura of grandeur and majesty, while symbolizing the importance and uniqueness of the elephant as a majestic animal. The elephant's face itself is detailed through skillful brushstrokes and nuances of color and shadow, creating an impressive representation of the elephant's character and expressiveness. The painting invites the viewer to admire the beauty and grace of this majestic creature.
