ORIGINAL Elephant Painting

Back


Can your elephant paint? Watch this elephant, rescued from abusive treatment in Burma, now paint a beautiful image of an elephant. You'll be amazed at how her talent unfolds as she carefully completes each stroke. Her mahout talks to her throughout the process as his gentle touch gives her confidence. She focuses on her work and seems to enjoy the approval of the audience and, of course, the sugar cane and banana treats. All of her training has been reward based.

So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, "Starving Elephant Artisans" by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand.

Some Thai elephant experts believe that the survival of the Asian elephant species will most likely depend on the good treatment of the elephants in well managed privately owned elephant camps. All of us would prefer that all of the elephants be free to be in the wild. For many reasons, that is not possible at this time.

Its unfortunate that you feel fooled by this amazing process. Please read the information provided with each piece of art on our web site including Positive behavioral training techniques and non-toxic paints are used as Hong and her trainer collaborate to create this unique art.

Isnt it amazing that this elephant can exactly retrace her lines as she paints this image?

Your referenced animal abstract art is a trained/guided behavior.

This is a lovely video, and elephants are wonderful, but don't be fooled into thinking this is more than any trained animal 'trick'. If you look on exotic world gifts website, you'll see many of these original paintings and they are all identical. The elephant is not creating this painting in the sense we think of a creative art piece. However, elephants and chimps do create some fantastic abstract art!
