Did You Know?
The red panda is one of the most beloved and enchanting creatures in the animal kingdom — a gentle, tree-dwelling mammal found high in the misty forests of the Himalayas and surrounding regions of Asia. Despite their name, red pandas are not closely related to giant pandas; instead, they belong to their own unique family. Known for their rusty-red fur, ringed tails, and curious, playful personalities, these shy animals spend much of their lives climbing, resting, and exploring the forest canopy.
With every piece I create, my goal is not only to inspire and entertain but also to educate — embedding fascinating facts like these directly into my artwork.
For this Red Panda piece, I carefully selected words like adorable, endangered, and curious, along with phrases such as “Hidden in the Leaves,” “Small but Brave,” and “Mostly Active at Dusk and Dawn.” In total, you’ll find over 90 words and phrases hidden throughout the design, each one celebrating the red panda’s quiet charm, playful nature, and fragile place in the wild.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I hope this piece brings a sense of peace and joy — a reminder of the beauty found in small, gentle moments and the importance of protecting the creatures who share our world.
