Did you win this lot?
A full invoice should be emailed to the winner by the auctioneer within a day or two.
The winning bidder will receive a stunning, one-of-a-kind watercolor artwork on an impala skull from Africa.
The artist, Joe Ziolkowski, masterfully captures the rich colors of an African sunset while showcasing the beauty and grace of one of Africa's most iconic animals, the leopard.
Artist Statement:
I am a watercolor artist based in Central Montana, USA. I create original works in watercolor on both traditional and unconventional surfaces.
My art is inspired by the beauty of the outdoors.
I interpret the relics of nature instinctively through my brush.
Bold, rich colors and contrasting designs set the contemporary stage for my visual storytelling.
I consider myself a visual cartographer, documenting living spaces and species, and expressing their existence through my splashes of paint and love for surface treatment.
— Joe Ziolkowski
