The story behind the print
This hippo in lotus pond poster centres on a dark hippopotamus wading through shallow water, carrying a striped orange and yellow saddle topped with three small bowls and a tall glass jar. Two small birds perch on its back. Large cream and coral lotus flowers and dark lily pads frame the animal in the foreground.
The Japanese style animal print uses a teal, coral, and cream palette with a textured, print-like finish. The composition places the hippo at the centre, with layered mountains, a striped sunset sky, and scattered lotus blooms creating depth. The artwork has a retro, illustrative quality suited to nature-led interiors.
