from the website: Manłida’as' (Stone Sam) panel is inspired by the vast collection of beetles collected by their grandfather, they recall the mesmerizing colours of the beetles pinned up on his shelves. In recent years their curiosity for the rhino beetle grew into love for their beautiful structures and colours. 

"A simple yet strange creature with strong armour and a mighty will power. I deeply admire the nuance of strength against the world accompanied by kindness and grace. This concept is needed in today’s world."   

- Manłida’as (Stone Sam)

Bear House Front Painting

from the website: These rectangular canvas shapes allowed me the opportunity to display the importance of design and animal crests in family society and social roles of identity. Houses usually displayed the animal crests of its occupants. Here I have chosen Whale, Eagle and Bear.
