Cassowary Portrait Print – 8x10 Inch or A4 High Quality Archival Thick Paper

'In the Dark Rainforest'

Add a touch of the tropical North Australian wildlife to your home with this 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 inch) or A4 21 x29 cm (8 x 12 inches) Australian Cassowary PRINT, originally hand‑painted by myself (Christina Shafik) an Australian artist. This vibrant wildlife artwork celebrates one of Australia’s most striking (and possibly scariest) native birds, capturing the cassowary’s vivid colours, powerful stance, and commanding presence through detailed brushwork and refined attention to form.

As I painted the electric blues and deep violets of the neck, blending them against the rich darkness of the background that is the deep tropical forest it inhabits, the cassowary’s bold and ancient spirit revealed itself layer by layer. The longer I worked, the more its personality emerged—majestic, enigmatic, and full of quiet intensity. This portrait invites viewers to appreciate the dramatic contrast between the bird’s brilliant plumage and the shadowed rainforest backdrop, making it a standout piece for lovers of Australian wildlife art and nature‑inspired home décor.
