Inspired by David Attenborough!

Travelling the globe in search of the "animal dramas" that make our wildlife so unique, David Attenborough brings the unexplored wilderness to millions of television screens worldwide. His new seven-part BBC series, Seven Worlds, One Planet, which aired in autumn 2019, saw the national treasure brave the continents to shed light on our endangered species.

Using drones, David and his entourage filmed across Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America and Africa over a four-year period. In total, 1500 people worked on the project, which involved a huge 1,794 days of filming. Its executive producer, Jonny Keeling, is reported to have called it “the biggest series on biodiversity ever produced”.

After reading about the documentary, Robert Oxley was moved to create three original paintings featuring a golden snub-nosed monkey, red panda and Pallas’s cat. These stunning works have now sold out, but you can shop more of Robert's originals below.
