What makes the animal painting elephant Tijani so special? Did you know that Frank Krüger once worked as a zoo keeper in the Berlin zoo? During this time he has, among other things, the elephants and was enthusiastic about the imposing animals, which exuded so much strength and yet were extremely gentle to handle. While working with them, he got to know the animals and their characters very well and, above all, noticed that the animals have their own characteristic faces.

In the animal painting Elefant Tijani, Frank Krüger captured the typical character of a pachyderm wonderfully. Large, imposing, full of calm and with an indescribable wisdom in view, he seems to approach the viewer with slow steps and want to greet him. You’re almost waiting for him to lift his trunk and say a loud “Hello”.

For the animal painting Elefant Tijani, Frank Krüger chose bright yet soft colors that support the character of the animal. Colorful and yet unobtrusive, beautiful and really very special in this color scheme, the animal painted with oil on the aluminum canvas comes into its own. With a size of 140×140 cm, this work of art is also impressive and a real highlight!
