Artist Statement
“Beautiful discretion”
“What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

112 hours. That is the amount it took me to complete this piece. Not too long ago I realized that I was the problem. Who am I to lecture you and everyone around me about Wildlife conservation when not even I am doing something about it. This is why I decided to put aside my deep love for Sci-fi/Fantasy art and dictate 112 hours of my life to these animals that we often don’t even give a minute of our busy day of. My Purpose for this piece is to raise awareness and show the beauty in these animals. Personally, I would love nothing more for my kids to enjoy these beautiful animals such as the rhinos, Siberian tigers, polar bears, wolfs, and much more.
Most of us are so busy with our life’s, myself included, we often forget the world around us, nor do we ever stop and think about how we live our life’s is effecting our world. There are countless animals going extinct because of the way we live and it is sad to see such beauty going extinct because of us. Because of me.
Steven Sims
