Woman with Two Tigers and a Lion, 2024

Colored pencil on paper | 16 x 17 inches

This colored pencil drawing presents a quiet, ceremonial encounter within dense foliage, where a woman emerges as part of the living landscape. She is flanked by three animals, two tigers and a lion, whose steady gazes suggest guardianship. Their presence feels ancestral and deliberate, as if they belong to her story in the same way the leaves and branches do.

The composition unfolds like a remembered myth. The foliage forms a rhythmic enclosure, guiding the eye inward and reinforcing the sense of protection and belonging. The animals are companions shaped by proximity and shared time. Their calm, alert expressions evoke an unspoken pact, a balance between instinct and tenderness, vigilance and trust.

The figure stands centered yet integrated, suggesting a moment of initiation that is inward and deeply personal. This work belongs to an ongoing body of drawings exploring intimate mythologies, where women and animals meet in spaces of kinship, guardianship, and quiet power, worlds that feel both ancient and tenderly present.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind drawing.
