Solar Frost | Various Sizes | Kristjana S Williams

Spanning over two meters in length, this panoramic Limited Edition print by Kristjana S. Williams is inspired by a captivating mid-nineteenth-century painting and vividly captures the Earth’s diverse flora and fauna. The artwork seamlessly weaves together various climates, starting from the tropical islands of East Asia, India, and Africa, through the moderate climates of Western Europe, and extending to the frozen expanses of Russia and the Arctic.

The composition illustrates the equinoctial angles of the sun’s rays, emphasizing how light and heat impact the thriving ecosystems in each region. Through this depiction, Kristjana invites the viewer to reflect on the diverse ways animal and plant life flourish in response to environmental conditions.Meticulously detailed, Kristjana’s artwork elevates animals into surreal forms, adorned with extravagant headpieces or merged with their winged or four-legged counterparts. Among the animals, you'll find flamingos, giraffes, polar bears, lemurs, and a variety of birds, including owls, flying fish, and penguins. The natural world is further enriched by meteorological elements, such as a rising sun and a full moon radiating light across the scene, while the ethereal aurora borealis dances over the Arctic Circle.

The landscape showcases a rich tapestry of mountains, volcanoes, icy glaciers, and lush vegetation—towering palms, forest pines, and tropical orchids—adding layers of beauty and intrigue to this extraordinary depiction of Earth’s dynamic ecosystems.
