Simon Combes Animal Prints
Simon Combes’ life story is nothing short of remarkable. His journey from an army officer to one of the world’s most celebrated wildlife artists is a testament to both his dedication and his deep connection to the African landscape and its creatures. His work, particularly his stunning depictions of the wildlife in the African bush, brought the untamed beauty of the continent to life for people across the globe.
It’s poignant how his passion for the wildlife he painted ultimately led to his tragic end. His ability to capture the majesty of the creatures he loved, and his intimate understanding of the African environment, made his art all the more powerful. The fact that he was taken by one of the very animals he portrayed speaks to the raw, unpredictable nature of the wild and how deeply intertwined he was with it.
