About this work

This picture looks like a busy, colorful safari scene. A giraffe stands tall on a green hill. Below it, zebras and a leopard hang out near a watering hole. Trees, fish, and a lighthouse by the sea add to the mix. Bright colors pop against a light blue sky. The artist packed a lot into one spot—animals, plants, and even a tiny village. The style feels playful, almost like a storybook. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Chen, Belinda.
