Is it a hat – or is it a snake that’s just eaten an elephant? This beautiful and delicate work of art isn’t what it seems at first glance – or at least, there are several interpretations to be made. This is a captivating piece by a Danish artist called Sissan Richardt, who was fascinated by what hides behind pretty facades – something we might all benefit from paying more attention to. The original image was featured in Antoine Du Saint-Exupery's book Le Petit Prince, and doesn’t the written word look far more glamourous and sophisticated in French? It translates to read, ‘This is not a drawing of my hat. This is a drawing of an elephant after it has been eaten by a snake’, which brings a very different vibe to the casa, but creates a terrific talking point, we’re sure you’ll agree. The blue font pops out of the off-white background, giving this a simplistic, rustic feel that works perfectly against more minimalist, muted shades or bold blocks of darker colours. It’s a quirky, eclectic piece that piece that adds an elegant touch to your surroundings, and has timeless appeal. Stunning.
