About this artwork

At twenty-six, Jane Goodall began studying chimpanzees in the wild, initiating what would become the longest-running research project on primates. Without formal academic training at the outset, she followed instinct, curiosity, and a profound respect for life.

Her observations reshaped our understanding of human behavior and our connection to the natural world. She later earned a doctorate in ethology, founded the Jane Goodall Institute, and became… a global advocate for environmental awareness and conservation.

In this Body of Water, she is represented as a quiet but persistent force — like water carving its way through stone. Not through dominance, but through patience, continuity, and deep attention.

Her life reflects a simple but powerful idea: that change begins with how we choose to observe, to care, and to coexist.

Credentials

Works on commission

Els Devrieze is a Belgian painter whose work explores intensity, stillness, and the physical presence of paint.

Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, she builds layered surfaces that function as inner landscapes rather than literal depictions. Her practice is driven by intuition and material engagement, allowing tension and balance to emerge through texture, color, and restraint.

Devrieze’s work invites sustained looking, offering space for reflection without prescribing a fixed narrative.
