Having printed in black & white onto canvas he adds hints of colour with oils for shape and depth. Each artwork is named after an African butterfly, an image of which is hidden within the picture. The common and Latin name of the butterfly are engraved onto a silver plaque, which is sealed into the canvas with the Fircks family crest.
Only two, different versions of the original photo image are ever created. In the second version the oils artwork, size and position of the butterfly differ from the first original.
Three collections are presented:
2003 One Hundred Elephants
2004 Elephant Portraits
2005 Black & White Elephants
