Red Panda’s Journey

by artist Aaron Yap

This series of three paintings, inspired by illustrated storybooks, follows the red panda on a whimsical adventure through different landscapes and times of day. In one scene, he bathes beneath a lively jungle waterfall as playful daytime animals gather around. In another, he refreshes himself in nature against a serene blue mountain range, drawing the curiosity of passing wildlife. As night falls in the final scene, the red panda hosts a candlelit feast in the quiet desert, joined by watchful nocturnal animals.

Together, the paintings tell a gentle story of exploration, connection, and harmony in the natural world.
