"AFRICA: An Artist's Safari"
Thanks for watching, I'm Bruce Oliver with the Cruise Radio Network and host of
the Cruise with Bruce Travel Internet Radio show. This video was shot up close
as African Safari Artist Fred Krakowiak observed elephants that will be subjects
for his next piece of art. Find out what it is like to be several feet away from
a bull elephant and his herd of elephants in Zimbabwe, Africa. Fred spent a
month on safari in Africa visiting herds of gorilla, elephants and hippopotamus
before visiting one of the seven wonders of the world. The Victoria Falls in
Central Africa cover hundreds of miles in Zimbabwe. They are
known as “the grand old lady of the Falls” and can be found in the Victoria
Falls National Park. The park has been designated a world heritage site. Fred
will talk about his visit to the falls on his last safari to Zimbabwe. Learn

Fred Krakowiak, author of Africa: An Artist's
Safari, is recognized as a leading wildlife artist as well as a safari
expert. His artwork is commissioned internationally by both private and
corporate collectors. He creates vibrant paintings of wildlife from Africa and
across the world by capturing them in motion with unique techniques using
mediums such as oil on copper and dye on silk.
Early on, Krakowiak realized his passion for
painting as well as his genuine love for African wildlife. Blessed with the gift
of an artist's eye, he is able to detail every nuance of the animal's very
existence. With over twenty-five years of conventional study in various mediums
including watercolor, oil, pen & ink and dye on silk, Krakowiak's foundation has
been his formal training in the ancient art of Sumi (pictures in ink). The
fundamentals of Sumi require the artist to learn from their mistakes and often
omit details. Krakowiak's paintings illustrate that what is missing is as
important as what remains. This skill allows viewers to become involved in the
painting by filling in the missing details with their imagination and experience
the power of action at that exact moment of passion.
Krakowiak's book Africa: An Artist's Safari
is a narrative that chronicles his travels in Africa. He was inspired to capture
African animals by his awareness that one day his artwork and stories may be all
that remains of these majestic creatures. His appreciation and respect for the
mysterious beauty of these animals and the land was the motivation for creating
his beautiful book. Described as a “feast for the eyes” by the Virginia
Quarterly Review, Africa: An Artist's Safari was the recipient of the
prestigious 2008 Ben Franklin Award for large format cover design.
