Hyper-realistic Javan Rhinoceros

I completed this piece back in 2021. It is the first piece i’ve ever tried at this scale, and this detailed. The medium used is rather amusing, the paper used is actually wall paper – i find the texture great for creating detail and differences between light and dark, followed by an outline of black acrylic paint to make it stand out. I submitted it for the Nancy Rothwell Art Award, an international competition for young artists inspired by nature, and won my age category. The piece was shown in a museum in January of 2022, and was returned thereafter. It is not available for sale, however I wish to share with you the piece that started this journey, as well as to show you my skill.
