Art Historian's Take
Aimee Del Valle — "African Elephant". This watercolor study exemplifies a contemporary approach to wildlife illustration, where the artist transcends mere representation to evoke the intrinsic spirit of the subject. Del Valle’s technique, characterized by fluid washes and a restrained palette, aligns with the broader tradition of modernist watercolorism, which emphasizes atmospheric quality over precise anatomical detail. The composition is deliberately sparse, employing a significant amount of negative space to frame the elephant as a contemplative, almost ethereal presence. This approach creates a sense of balance and harmony, drawing the viewer’s eye to the subtle interplay of color and form. The artist’s use of a limited, warm palette—dominated by burnt sienna and cream—evokes the dusty savanna environment, grounding the piece in a specific ecological context while also imbuing it with a timeless quality. The work’s visual structure, with its centered and balanced form, reflects a deep understanding of compositional principles, yet it avoids the rigidity of traditional naturalism. Instead, it embraces a more expressive, painterly approach, where the medium’s inherent qualities—transparency, fluidity, and the soft blending of pigments—are celebrated. This piece is not merely a depiction of an animal; it is a meditation on nature, stillness, and the quiet power of the natural world. In this context, Del Valle’s work can be seen as part of a broader cultural shift toward appreciating art that is both aesthetically refined and environmentally conscious, bridging the gap between fine art and ecological awareness.

Great quality prints

I took a chance and ordered and I’m glad I did. The prints arrived quickly and were well packaged, no damage. The colors and quality of paper look better than expected. I’m very satisfied and would order again. Thank you for great customer service.

Thank you for the kind words, we really appreciate you giving us a shot. Glad to hear everything arrived safely and exceeded expectations. Looking forward to working with you again.

Love the artwork

The colors are great for our room. We needed something with the dark teal color. Love the artwork. The artwork however was almost ruined. The delivery person put it out on front stoop in the pouring rain. I would suggest that Decorus put the tube into sealed plastic before inserting into the shipping box.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it—and I’m glad to hear the artwork and colors worked well for your space.

I’m sorry to hear about the delivery experience, that’s always frustrating when carriers leave packages exposed like that.

Since your order and your feedback, we took a big look at how we were packaging prints and ran with your feedback. Since the end of last year we all prints are now rolled and placed inside a protective plastic sleeve before going into the tube, which is then placed in the box, which helps prevent issues like moisture exposure during transit.

We appreciate you calling that out, it’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps us improve.

Cheers,
Shane

How will my print arrive?

Your print arrives unframed and unstretched, rolled in a protective tube. No frame, no stretcher bars, no mounting -- just the printed material. You choose how to finish it.

Does this come framed or stretched?

No. Every print ships unframed and unstretched, rolled in a tube. This is the print only -- you take it to a local frame shop, stretch it yourself, or have your designer install it however you like.

Does your canvas prints come with a bleed for stretching?

Yes, by default all Canvas Prints come standard with a 3" mirrored bleed.

Do you produce this yourselves?

Yes. Every print is produced in-house at our studio in Sarasota, Florida.

What is the difference between materials?

Poster is smooth and cost-efficient, fine art is the most elevated paper choice with rich detail, and canvas adds textural softness and painterly depth. All three ship unframed and unstretched.

Do you do custom sizes?

There is no charge for the same ratio in a size not listed.
