I Am Here – The Soul of a Tiger in His Gaze
This artwork was born from a photograph I captured in 2023 at a zoo in France — not to document captivity, but to witness the soul of a wild creature.
I saw the tiger lying still, eyes open, alert, and full of presence. Not sleeping. Not hunting. But watching. And in that moment, I felt something profound: a silent declaration.
His gaze didn’t ask for pity. It didn’t rage against the bars. It simply said: "I am here."
In those golden eyes, I saw the strength of nature — not in movement, but in stillness. The beauty of life — not in freedom, but in dignity.
Every brushstroke of this watercolor tries to honor that moment: the fire in his pupils, the depth of his stare, the quiet power behind every stripe.
This is not just an image of a tiger. It’s a portrait of resilience. Of identity. Of a being who knows he is more than a spectacle.
And in that knowing, there is strength. And in that silence, there is truth.
