The painting shows a tiger staring at me. His gaze is mesmerizing, his goal is to attract, keep and subdue. I drew strength, power, great will. The tiger made a decision and it will be as he decided. There are no other options.
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 vertical canvas for the tiger to enhance the impression of strength and power.
There are almost no texture strokes in the painting. I gave the tiger the opportunity to impress on its own.
