Heartland African Animals | African Animal Grid Collage Wall Art Print

About Heartland African Animals

Sixteen squares sit in a four-by-four grid, each with its own subject and surface. Animal portraits fill nine of them: a maned lion facing forward, a tiger's striped head at the top right with a smaller leopard beneath it, a zebra in profile, an elephant with pale curved tusks, a second softer lion, a pair of zebras nuzzling, a full-face tiger and a lioness with amber eyes. The remaining tiles carry ornament, a compass-like mandala, a geometric star, leaf and floral motifs and a faint circular medallion.

Colours stay in a warm earthy band of brown, ochre, olive and dull gold, with cooler grey-green squares breaking the rhythm. Surfaces look worn and layered, with scuffs, stencil edges and patchy washes that read like aged plaster or old tile. The character is calm and collected rather than dramatic, a safari subject handled with muted, antique restraint.

Works above a sideboard in a dining room, in a study or home office, or along a hallway where people pass close enough to read each tile. Suits timber furniture, rattan, leather and linen in earthy or safari-leaning rooms, and holds its own in a kids' room or beach house corridor with white walls.
