"But why, Mama?"

This striking mixed media painting captures a tender moment between a zebra mother and her curious foal against an abstract sunrise backdrop. The composition blends realism with expressive abstraction, bringing warmth and emotion to the scene. The foal's inquisitive expression—as if asking "But why, Mama?"—creates an endearing narrative that resonates with viewers. Layered textures and dynamic brushwork enhance the sense of movement and connection between the pair, while the colorful sunrise setting bathes the work in a colorful contemplative light. A compelling piece that celebrates the bond between parent and child through the lens of wildlife and artistic imagination.
