Paradise Found

Acrylic on Canvas by Gustavo Novoa

Represented by Findlay Galleries for more than 50 years, Gustavo Novoa is celebrated for the colorful, playful jungle scenes exemplified by Paradise Found. In the 36” x 48” painting, a lion in the foreground makes direct eye contact with the viewer while his partner gazes at a zebra couple in the midground who spot an elephant couple in the distance. This clever composition is enhanced by the reflection of the animals in the water, which also highlights Novoa’s mastery of the brush. Novoa leaves the viewer feeling peace and harmony.
