Before the Ice Age, before even the first flowering plants had finished reshaping the Earth, great herds of dinosaurs wandered a world ruled by ferns, cycads, and endless green. In this painting, we meet one of the most iconic — and misunderstood — of those ancient giants: the Iguanodon (Iguanodon bernissartensis).

This Late Cretaceous herbivore, discovered in the early 19th century, became one of the very first dinosaurs to be named and scientifically described. Early reconstructions, much like the one captured here, often depicted it as a towering, semi-upright creature — a gentle colossus balanced between reptile and mystery. Though we now know Iguanodon moved primarily on all fours, this classic pose remains a powerful reminder of the dawn of paleontology, when science and imagination first intertwined.

The scene evokes a humid, prehistoric world — lush with cycads and tree ferns, rivers glinting under a heavy sky. The green Iguanodon stands watchful near the water’s edge, while its companion grazes calmly beside it. Together, they seem both alien and familiar — reminders of nature’s ability to evolve endless forms, yet maintain a sense of grace and design throughout time.

With its distinctive thumb spikes — used perhaps for defense or foraging — Iguanodon thrived in herds across ancient Europe, feeding on the low vegetation that blanketed floodplains and deltas. It was a creature built for endurance, balance, and adaptation — traits that echo the timeless rhythms of evolution and creativity itself.

This artwork is not just a reconstruction of prehistory — it’s a celebration of imagination as science, of art as the bridge between ancient worlds and our modern fascination with them.

Before the first artist carved lines into bone or painted a bison across a cave wall, the Ice Age world belonged to the mammoths. Towering and wool-covered, these ancient giants — known scientifically as Mammuthus primigenius — roamed the vast grasslands and tundras of the Pleistocene epoch.

In this artwork, we see the mammoth in its prime: heavy-footed yet graceful, draped in a thick coat of rust-red fur adapted for the freezing winds of prehistoric Eurasia and North America. Its great spiraling tusks curve forward like the arcs of frozen moons — tools for foraging through snow and weapons for dominance in the herd’s ancient hierarchy.

Behind the main bull, two others move slowly across a windswept plain, their silhouettes fading into a pale blue horizon. The golden grasses ripple beneath them, hinting at a short summer before the world again froze into silence. It is a moment of both vitality and fragility — a glimpse of a species that would one day inspire the earliest human imagination.

The mammoth’s form became an icon of survival and power for our Paleolithic ancestors. Their bones were used to build shelters, their tusks carved into tools and ornaments, and their image etched deep into cave walls like those of Rouffignac and Les Combarelles. The mammoth was more than a creature — it was a muse, a symbol of endurance in an unforgiving world.

This painting celebrates that connection — the meeting of natural history and art — a reminder that the roots of creativity stretch back to an age when humankind and megafauna shared the same wind and the same earth.

Giants of the Green Earth: A Glimpse Into the Age of Titans

Long before the first human hand traced a figure on cave stone, this planet was ruled by giants. Here we see two of the most iconic — Brachiosaurus, towering above the ferns with its long neck stretching skyward, and Diplodocus, grazing low along the wetlands. Together, they represent the grandeur of the Late Jurassic world, when colossal herbivores moved with the calm grace of living mountains.

The landscape around them hums with ancient life — steaming swamps, primitive conifers, and cycads under a hazy sky. The air is thick and heavy with the scent of vegetation and the hum of insects that would vanish millions of years later. Each movement of these creatures is both immense and gentle, shaping the terrain as they go, leaving impressions that would one day become fossils — the Earth’s earliest sculptures.

In this world, there were no human eyes to see, no words to describe, no art to frame such beauty — yet design was everywhere. From the curvature of a sauropod’s neck to the symmetry of fern fronds, nature composed its masterpieces in perfect balance.

This painting captures not only the majesty of these dinosaurs but also the quiet harmony of an Earth still inventing itself — an age where art and life were one and the same.

Into the Green Depths: A Journey Through the Ancient Forest

Before the first villages, before the plow, before the first spark of bronze — the world was a vast cathedral of trees. This artwork captures a glimpse of that primeval age, a Neolithic forest where every leaf, vine, and shadow breathes with the slow rhythm of deep time.

Imagine stepping into this world: towering trunks stretch upward like the pillars of forgotten temples, their bark patterned with the memory of a thousand seasons. Dense canopies filter the sunlight into emerald veils that dance across a floor of moss, fern, and still water. The air hums with unseen life — insects whisper, amphibians murmur, and distant creatures stir beyond sight.

This is nature in its earliest architecture — a world untouched by tools or roads, where design was not crafted by human hands but by evolution’s patient artistry. Each plant form feels intentional, balanced, almost sculptural, yet perfectly wild.

Look closer: the layered greens, the textured bark, the interplay of light and shade — all echo the same visual rhythm that inspired the first cave artists. In these ancient woods, perhaps, an ancestor once paused, charcoal in hand, tracing the outline of a fern or the curve of a deer’s horn, translating the forest’s living geometry into the earliest art.

The Ancient Forest stands as both subject and muse — a reminder that design, beauty, and balance have always existed, long before we had words to describe them.
