Standing squarely facing the viewer, this wonderfully expressive warthog immediately commands attention. Cornelie captures its characteristic tusks, alert ears, and distinctive snout with loose, energetic marks rather than rigid realism, allowing the animal’s personality to become the focus of the painting.

The muted earthy tones of the warthog are surrounded by an expressive combination of warm ochre, dusty pink, soft grey and unexpected flashes of blue and orange. Sketch-like lines, gestural marks, and areas of exposed canvas give the composition a spontaneous, contemporary feel and create an intriguing contrast with the animal’s more defined features.

There is humour in this piece, but also strength. The warthog stands confidently within the composition, turning an animal sometimes overlooked in traditional wildlife art into a character worthy of its own portrait.

Wild at Heart would make a distinctive addition to a contemporary home, lodge, game farm or African-inspired interior. It is particularly suited to collectors searching for warthog art, African wildlife paintings, mixed media animal art or original South African wildlife artwork.
