Vita

This striking painting captures a vibrant scene in a jungle ecosystem, dominated by a magnificent, ancient tree. The trunk of the tree twists dramatically, its roots extending like arms to embrace the ground. At the center, a fierce-looking leopard is partially hidden among the gnarled branches, its gaze piercing and watchful. Surrounding the tree are several hyenas, depicted in various poses, each with intricate details that highlight their distinct coat patterns. A few butterflies flutter nearby, adding a touch of delicate beauty to the wild atmosphere. The background features a blend of soft blues and warm earth tones, enhancing the sense of depth and complexity in the image, while evoking feelings of both tension and harmony within nature.
This painting would be a stunning addition to an interior space that celebrates nature, such as a living room, study, or wildlife-themed gallery. Its rich details and vibrant colors can become a focal point in the space, sparking conversation and admiration. It would complement natural wood furniture and earthy color schemes beautifully, creating an inviting and stimulating environment.

Vita (life) - Portrait of a perennial wildlife standoff under African sky’s – Hyenas v Leopards - dramatically played out around, and in, a wild African Fig tree. This animal portrait portrays the nature of the leopard, fierce & protective, and the scavenging/squabbling characteristics of the hyena pack.
