Primate Collection
Expressive Primate Portraits in Black & White

Fine Art for Nature Lovers and Contemporary Collectors

Born deep in the Amazon rainforest, the Primate Collection is a series of black and white monkey portraits that explore the emotional depth and human-like expressions of our closest animal relatives. Inspired by a personal encounter with a troop of monkeys in the jungle, this collection transforms fleeting moments into lasting symbols of our shared existence.

Animal Portraiture That Speaks

Every artwork is hand-drawn with intricate detail, emphasizing the raw emotion and subtle personality of each primate. Stripped of color, the black and white medium brings their gaze to the forefront, intense, reflective, and strangely familiar.

🎨 Each piece is signed on the back and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Visionary Nature-Inspired Art

These original artworks go beyond wildlife illustration, they bridge the symbolic gap between human and animal. Perfect for collectors of contemporary animal portraiture, symbolic fine art, and visionary nature-inspired works, the Primate Collection is an invitation to see animals not just as subjects, but as mirrors of ourselves.
