The painting depicts a tiger in a relaxed pose. All his attention is directed outside the painting. He is observing something very pleasant. I show pleasure in his gaze, a soft smile under his mustache. He is very focused and doesn't notice anything around him. Is he really seeing something or is it just a dream?
Picture from the series "To Be Wild". In this series, I represent wild animals. I try to show their emotional reactions, how they manifest themselves in everyday life. They have their own character, behavior, which are very similar to human ones.
I used large brush strokes for the tiger to emphasize dynamism despite his static pose. After all, he won't lie in one place for a long time. Isn't it?
