Elephant Mother of Ancenstral Memory

Elephant Mother of Ancenstral Memory is an original 30x48" Acrylic on canvas painting by artist Krissy Whiski.   Part of my Serengheti of the Mind series of animal archetype artworks. This piece was inspired by the documentary The Elephant Queen, to honor elephants as guardians of memory and lineage — protectors of family, carriers of deep emotional intelligence, and symbols of the our connection and ressilance alongside mother nature across cultures. Elephants are renowned for their incredible memories — able to recognize companions and recall vital watering holes even after many years, ensuring the survival of their herd.
