In 2017, Michelle Poonawalla was approached by The Elephant Parade India project, spearheaded by the Elephant Family – a charity supported by global leaders including His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, to join India’s leading artists and designers to create a unique, life-sized elephant which would travel across India and the UK. In the company of 101 of India’s finest creative minds, Poonawalla presented her very own bespoke elephant – Monsoon Magic, which was inspired by the uniquely Indian season that forms the lifeline for farmers across India. The strong graphics used for this artwork referenced her signature painting style whilst the whimsical colours alluded to the element of fantasy that is characteristic of her oeuvre.
