Description

This beautiful artwork is part of Dr. Michael Durst’s series of Spirit Animals or Guides. Many people feel a kinship with a particular animal which provides a sense of guidance and inspiration. The artist has created three versions of this artwork to help raise awareness and to help save the Rhinos : Color, Sepia and Black and White.

The Rhino is a powerful animal that represents power, substance, solidity, and stamina. Invite the guidance of this spirit animal and let yourself be filled with its greatness. When the rhinoceros spirit animal appears to you, it’s telling you that things are not what they appear to be. You need to delve deeper to know the truth and look beyond the masks that people wear. Are you seeing lack instead of abundance?

This animal is here to remind you to appreciate the expansive bounty that surrounds you. Stop and give thanks to the infinite miracles occurring in every moment of your life. Use your spiritual eyes, not your physical eyes to see the truth and maintain a close connection with “Mother Earth” as you expand your inner knowledge to a whole new level.

IF RHINOCEROS IS YOUR SPIRIT ANIMAL:

You are for the most part a solitary and wise person choosing to spend a great deal of time alone. You enjoy the comfort of your own company and are comfortable with yourself. You have a very close relationship with the ancient wisdom of your soul and have a lot to share about what is real and how to live. For the most part you are a self made success and an achievement seeking powerhouse in your chosen field. Being a workaholic is a natural part of who you are.

White rhinos are the second largest land mammal after the elephant. Adult males tip the scales at a massive 3.6 tons. Females are considerably smaller but can still weigh in at an impressive 1.7 tons.

White rhinos are also known as the square-lipped rhinoceros due to their square (not pointed) upper lip. Their name comes from the Afrikaans word “weit”, which means wide and refers to the animal’s muzzle.

Compared to black rhinos, white rhinos have a longer skull, a less sharply defined forehead and a more pronounced shoulder hump. They have almost no hair and two horns. The front horn averages two feet, but occasionally reaches five feet in length.

The white rhino is a major conservation success story, having been brought back from the very brink of extinction. But the current surge in poaching for their horns, particularly in South Africa, has seen record numbers killed in recent years. That is why a portion of the sales of this artwork is donated to the Save the Rhino International.

Prints are available through Fine Art America, Fine Art England and Fine Art Germany. They can be on canvas, metal acrylic, framed, gallery wrapped and even available as fine art greeting cards, throw pillows, etc.

To purchase the signed and hand-embossed Master Edition, contact the artist directly from this site. It is hand glazed with many layers of acrylic paint and varnish to really bring out the beautiful colors and create a three dimensional effect. Thus, the Master Edition of a fractal vision is a unique work of art and valuable as an investment piece.
