Alpha Fauna is an independent design studio specializing in modern vintage animal art and accessories. Founded in 2023 by Maria Greyling, we focus on products that are inspirational, educational, and thought-provoking; uniquely designed to celebrate the inspiring beauty of the animal world, and the environments they call home.
Nature lifts our spirits like nothing else, but nowadays life is busy, and getting a regular dose of nature can sometimes feel like an impossible task. Art is a powerful way to bring wilderness and wildlife right into our homes to foster a renewed sense of adventure, keep us connected to life outside our cities, and inspire admiration for the natural world.
Our modern vintage animal art collections feature illustrated and photographic works blended with bold nature-inspired colors and typographic elements. Research is the starting point for all artworks. Once the purpose and inspiration is clear, we delve deeper into the overall design direction for a particular piece, followed by the final color palette and typography. After all these elements come together, the viewer gets to explore the treasures, textures, and richness of the animal world in a fresh artistic style reminiscent of those same qualities.

We support Mossy Earth rewilding projects aimed at bringing back true wilderness by restoring wild ecosystems.

MISSION
We used to think our planet is so vast that we couldn’t possibly cause any real harm, that nature will always be with us. But we were wrong. Our world is changing, and everybody can see and feel it. The profound impact we’ve had on countless environments can no longer be denied. Wildlife in many ways suffer out of sight, and many species are struggling to survive. Studies suggest that, at current rates, 75% of today's animal species could vanish within just 300 years.
MISSION
At Alpha Fauna we view every artwork as an opportunity to play a small part in the effort to conserve our planet's ecosystems, and we do this by supporting Mossy Earth projects with a focus on restoring natural processes, and helping keystone species as well as neglected species and ecosystems. Their unique rewilding protocol maximizes impact.
