This mixed-media piece is a powerful tribute to the buffalo, an animal that has played an integral role in human history for thousands of years. The work is a visual representation of the buffalo's enduring legacy, rendered with intense realism and detail through charcoal and oil paint.

The abstract cave drawing of the buffalo superimposed on top of the realistic image is a poignant reminder of the animal's ancient and ongoing significance. The multiple layers of charcoal and oil paint create an image that is both striking and evocative, it aims to capture the weight and form of the buffalo, and evoke a sense of awe and wonder.

Through this piece, I hope to ignite a deeper appreciation and understanding of the buffalo's place in our history and bring awareness to the fact that it is an animal often forgotten in modern society.
