About The Artwork
Original Charcoal Portrait painted by Hannah Leadbetter on Pastelmat. ATINBI Species: Gorilla Sex: F Date of birth: March 3rd 2009 Capture date: captive born Location: Limbe Wildlife Centre in Cameroon, Prague Many of the lowland gorillas at Limbe Wildlife Centre in Cameroon are orphans rescued after their parents were shot by poachers. Unlike her playmates, Atinbi is one of the lucky primates who was born in safety after her mother was given refuge and fortunately has not suffered the same horrible fate as the other gorillas. The staff at the Limbe Wildlife Centre hope Atinbi will be a symbol replacing the sad stories of killed gorillas. Little Atinbi's name was given to her in memory of two other gorillas killed by poachers, which means 'replacement' in the local Bakweri language. With kind permission of Photographer Petr Slavík, I was able to recapture her essence by using willow charcoal, charcoal powder and charcoal pencils. I absolutely love her cheekiness, her innocence and really feel a sense of hope for her future of our beautiful animal kingdom. I will be donating a percentage of the print sales to those who have helped save her mother at Limbe Wildlife Centre

During the stillness of lockdown I found inspiration to draw our natural world. I use the natural ancient medium charcoal; it allows me to be disciplined and precise with the capacity to get messy and play. I am currently working on a personal project highlighting the importance to protect those without a voice, to protect our endangered wildlife. As a charcoal wildlife portrait artist, I’m passionate about capturing the essence of animals. My work involves incorporating tattoos into my animal portraits, emphasizing the impact of humans on wildlife. Let’s explore how my art aligns with the Making It 2025 themes: Innovation: I take a modern approach by blending natural beauty with human-inspired art. The tattoos add depth and intrigue to my animal subjects. Diversity: Each piece celebrates the rich variety of wildlife. From majestic lions to delicate reptiles, I aim to showcase their uniqueness. Collaboration in Craft: My technique—using charcoal to achieve depth and detail—represents a collaboration between traditional artistry and contemporary concepts.
