The Talent of the Trunk...

"Ramona paints effusively yet thoughtfully, pausing to look carefully at her canvas before choosing each color"

They may be the smallest of the elephant family in size, but the endangered Sumatran elephants housed at the Bali Elephant Safari Park are truly big on talent - the talent of using their trunks for painting!
Meet the ARTISTS!

Putting paint strokes to paper is simply an extension of an elephant’s usual penchant for drawing on the ground of their natural habitats. Generally elephants would use sticks, pebbles and leaves to make pictures in the sand and earth, but are now picking up a paintbrush and turning their trunks to a much loved hobby and creating amazing Elephant Artifacts! See their ART GALLERY!

The painting phenomenon for Bali Adventure Tours Safari Park elephants started in 1999, when two inspired artists, who established an Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project, came to visit the Park. The artists taught our elephants to paint inspirational works of saleable art to help raise awareness and funds for the Parks own Elephant Foundation. The results? – Elephant Artifacts that have seen these jungle matriarch's works turn into international conversation pieces in art circles around the globe.

Now, not all our Safari Park elephants can paint! Those who can are taught to hold paintbrushes with the tip of their trunks, and encouraged to communicate their message through color and individual designs. Like all artists though, some of our elephants are temperamental at times and will not paint until they feel the right mood strikes them!

Overall, the paintings have created an art world sensation amongst critics, conservationists and collectors (see what they say).  Bali Adventure Tours elephant artists have had their works exhibited in other international art establishments, including the prestigious auction house Christies of New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney, Australia) and have been talked about in the New York Times and on the famous Jay Leno Show.

Elephant Foundation - Help save the Sumatran Elephant!

Press releases and media articles...Interesting comments!


"Help our Forest Friends"

By teaching these gentle giants the fine art of painting their artworks may be exhibited and sold to a world wide audience to generate much needed funds for the continued rescue, care and upkeep of the Sumatran elephants in our Safari refuge.

Selling the art works of our safari park 'stars' not only raises the profile of these humble giants, but part of the proceeds goes directly back into transmigrating other endangered Sumatran elephants to our park sanctuary, feeding, breeding & development programs, and to assist with costs of medical and vitamin supplements needed to maintain the health and well-being of our elephants.

So grab this opportunity to own a unique work of art and help support one of Asia’s most endangered and forgotten species.  Click on the link below to view the range of Elephant artisan works and help save a Sumatran elephant....and make a 'forest friend for life'.
