About this artwork
Painted in black and white with deep blue background, 2 meters wide and 1 meter tall. The natural camouflage of the killer whale is apparent.
Killer Whales are black and white for a reason; their colouring helps to camouflage them by obscuring their outline in the water. It's because looking up to the surface from under them, the lighter colour makes them invisible to most other animals. And same goes for from above; the water is dark therefore… anything above them cannot see them.
The aerodynamic shape and huge power of the killer whale allows it to reach incredible speeds underwater. They’ve also got huge brains, the cortex of their brain is more convoluted than the human cerebral cortex, which leads me to suspect they may share with humans presence of mind, or metacognition. They also evolve through culture, have families, language and local dialects, hunt and play cooperatively. They dive deep too, using their ability to regulate blood flow to heart and brain at will.
