Diver and prehistoric life, artwork
Diver and prehistoric life. Animals shown here include a plesiosaur (upper right), an ichthyosaur (upper left), ammonites (centre right), and a Dapedium fish (orange and blue, lower right). All these animals were present in the Jurassic Period (200 to 145 million years ago), though some were present in earlier and later geologic periods as well. All went extinct long before humans evolved. This artwork could represent time travel, or the recreation of extinct species

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Diver and Prehistoric Life" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back in time. The artwork beautifully showcases various prehistoric creatures that once roamed the Earth millions of years ago. In the upper right corner, we can spot the majestic plesiosaur gracefully swimming through ancient waters, while its counterpart, the ichthyosaur, elegantly glides across the upper left side. The center right of this illustration is adorned with ammonites, fascinating spiral-shaped mollusks that were abundant during the Jurassic Period. And if you look closely at the lower right portion, you'll notice a vibrant Dapedium fish showcasing its orange and blue hues. These magnificent animals existed long before humans evolved and sadly went extinct ages ago. However, through this artwork's lens, we are transported to an era where these incredible species thrived. One cannot help but wonder about time travel or even recreating these extinct creatures as they observe this thought-provoking piece. It serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and highlights humanity's continuous fascination with understanding life forms from different epochs. This male diver immersed in an underwater world filled with prehistoric wonders symbolizes our innate curiosity for exploration and discovery. As he floats amidst these ancient beings, it sparks our imagination and invites us to appreciate both nature's diversity and our own place within it.
