This painting portrays a crocodile in striking realism, stretched across a 250 × 100 cm canvas. Depicted with meticulous attention to detail, the creature’s rough, armored skin is brought to life through a palette of nuanced tones: beige captures the dryness of sunbaked scales, coral subtly warms the underbelly and shadows, while teal pools in the reflections of imagined marsh waters. Indigo weaves through the deeper contours and creases, enhancing the sense of depth and age in the animal’s form, and gray ties the composition together, grounding it in stark naturalism. Every scale, claw, and ridge is painted with lifelike precision, presenting the crocodile not as a symbol or metaphor—but as a force of nature, still and silent, yet undeniably powerful.
