This original painting depicts a Parson’s Chameleon (Calumma parsonii) posed alongside Madagascar’s national flower, the Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia), in a stylized yet naturalistic composition. One of the world’s largest chameleon species, the Parson’s Chameleon is native to Madagascar and is known for its impressive size, distinctive coloration, and arboreal lifestyle. An opportunistic insectivore, it is also capable of taking larger prey such as lizards and birds.
The Parson’s Chameleon is considered Near Threatened by the IUCN, with its forest canopy habitat facing pressure from slash-and-burn agriculture and logging throughout its range. Titled “Mpanjaka,” the Malagasy word for royalty, this piece was created to convey the impressive nature of the species and their place as royalty within their habitat and among the people passionate about chameleons.
