About Astley

Astley Maberly

Africa is a place that captivates the mind, she is old and tells her tales in mysterious ways, we only have to sit quietly and listen to the stories
that flow from her. My late father Colonel Ted Maberly's stories of East Africa as a child thrilled me and inspired by all my late Uncle Charles
Astley Maberly's work on wildlife, set a path for me to follow later in life.
Africa is perhaps best described in pictures, as I know of no way to really portray her beauty in words, which is why I have turned to painting
and photography to find some way of conveying this beauty across to all. This journey certainly hasn't been a search for answers, this has
been more about learning to listen to the wild.

My passion for Elephants amongst other species goes back as far as I can remember, perhaps from the stories of old tuskers on the slopes of Kilimanjaro and the Selous - their intelligence as a species and the deep sense of knowing they portray, has led me to often refer to them as old souls.
My love for these creatures is what started me sketching and then painting, and yet it's the incredible symbiosis that is nature that has been my inspiration, that feeling of intelligent energy that overwhelms me in the presence of this magnificence.

Behind each Painting there is a life, a story about that special connection, the heightening of the senses and the realisation that we are undeniably a part of a higher more organised order!
I found that whilst I loved sketching, Oils became my medium of choice as I am able to more accurately represent the deep colour's of Africa, Oil paint can have a unique texture that allows the artist to push the boundaries of the norm and there are always new ideas and techniques, as a medium I find it open ended.That's why I use them oil especially on large Canvas there is nothing more impacting than a large Canvas of Africa !
Soon if we ignore the plight of Africa these wild places will exist no longer, the rate of organised poaching is accelerating; unbelievably, there will be no Elephants to speak of soon!
I see that each one of us can impact the future of the wild areas of Africa. The drums are beating, and it's time to listen.
Its all about awareness
