A Jaguar, A Lion and a Tiger. 2023

This colored pencil drawing presents three feline figures standing side by side within a lush, flowering landscape. Each animal is distinct in pattern and presence, yet they form a unified grouping, calm, frontal, and quietly attentive. Framed by dense greenery and stylized blossoms, the trio reads as both guardians and companions, evoking a sense of harmony, kinship, and watchful stillness.

Rendered through layered colored pencil, the surface is rich with warm ochres, golden browns, and deep greens. Subtle gradations model the bodies with softness and weight, while decorative markings and stripes introduce rhythm and individuality. The floral background adds a folk-like cadence, balancing ornament with structure and giving the scene a timeless, symbolic quality rather than a literal one.

This work belongs to an ongoing body of drawings exploring animal archetypes, coexistence, and the natural world as an emotional and symbolic space. The frontal arrangement and equal footing of the figures suggest balance and alliance—an image that feels protective, grounded, and quietly ceremonial.
