A grand reinterpretation of Raphael’s School of Athens, this version is inhabited by the creatures of the African savannah. Lions, meerkats, chameleons, and zebras gather under towering Roman arches to debate the meaning of life. Each animal represents a great thinker—Plato, Aristotle, Diogenes, and others—recast through the primal lens of nature.
Style: Renaissance homage meets symbolic surrealism. The piece walks the line between reverence and reimagination, with thoughtful nods to classical architecture and color placement.
Color Palette: Rich ochres, emerald greens, burnt siennas, and soft aquas bring life and movement to the fresco-like scene, with the architecture in warm neutrals anchoring the narrative.
Heart: This painting asks: what if wisdom wasn’t just human? What if the wild had philosophy too? It’s about elevating instinct, imagination, and intuition—challenging who gets to be called a “genius.”
