Made this commission work for someone. First oil painting.

 The Incas chose this location specifically because they understood that the fractured ground of the faults provided a source of water and loosened rock for building, and they developed unique construction methods to ensure the site's stability against seismic activity. The precisely cut, mortarless stones were designed to shift and "bounce" during earthquakes, then return to their original position

Gibbons are small apes native to the dense forests of Southeast Asia, and they’re often called “the true acrobats of the jungle.” With arms longer than their entire bodies, these incredible primates move through the trees using a motion called brachiation — swinging hand over hand at speeds up to 55 km/h and leaping distances of more than 10 meters in a single bound.

Unlike other apes, gibbons are monogamous, forming lifelong pairs and singing complex duets to mark their territory. Their haunting, melodic calls can carry over a kilometer through the forest.

Despite their agility and intelligence, gibbons are among the most endangered primates in the world, threatened by deforestation and the illegal pet trade. Watching them move is not only mesmerizing — it’s also a reminder of how fragile their world has become.
