"Nature is full of abstractions," Smith says. "It can exist in the mat of centuries-old lichen on an ancient piece of rubble granite that once stood at the top of a mountain or in a vast landscape that seems to be constantly changing in light and shadow."
For Smith, conveying mood is about speaking to the eternal mystery of light, and the atmospheric influence in perception of colour. Smith's interpretations have been described by art historians as "Photo-realism", meant to suggest a literal translation of detail, colour and pose.

"Black leopards are creatures of shadow and shade. They lead a solitary existence and are as mysterious as the clouded forest itself.
The black leopard is a colour variation of the spotted leopard. When viewed in the proper light, the familiar leopard spots can be quite apparent. Black leopards are most common in the rainforest where their black coats provide excellent camouflage in the shadows of dense vegetation.
African Ebony is a rare glimpse of a male leopard in repose after a night's hunt. I truly hope these magnificent cats will always have ample habitat to sustain and propagate their species." - Daniel Smith
