Wire portrait baby gorilla (tropical jungle monkey soft colours baby room neutral colours) by Natalie Bruns

The intense gaze of a young gorilla captures attention immediately. Its large eyes look curious and slightly serious, as if it is taking in the world around it. The short, tousled hair on his head is built up with hundreds of loose strands, giving the portrait a soft, cuddly character.

The simplicity of black thread on handmade paper actually enhances the complexity of his expression. You feel calmness and tenderness at the same time. This work fits beautifully in a space where nature, awareness or childlike wonder is welcome. Think of a children's room, practice room or ecological interior.

The portrait is composed of many loose black threads, which give the work a playful character. Together, they create a vivid image full of texture and movement. The subject shows subtle densities and the background of handmade paper gives the work a warm, natural base.

This work is part of my 'wire portraits' series of human and animal portraits, including endearing baby animals. To be found in my personal shop.

This series grew out of my love for materials with character and story. Handmade paper fascinates me. Every fibre, every irregularity is unique and depends on the origin of the paper. The thin black thread makes it fragile and in some places almost seems to merge into the paper itself. This combination, together with my passion for creating portraits of people and animals, ensures that I have worked on each artwork with great pleasure and dedication. Each portrait is carefully constructed using Artificial Intelligence, with an eye for detail and a deep sense of connection. A unique collaboration between human feeling and digital imagination.
