In The Empress’s Shadow, I invite you into a world of quiet power and ancient kinship. This pastel work explores the intersection of human dignity and the raw strength of the natural world, centered on the shared, unflinching gaze of a regal woman and her white tiger. By utilizing the soft, tactile nature of the pastel medium, I have contrasted the velvety texture of the tiger’s fur against the intricate, metallic shimmer of gold jewelry and a sapphire-toned saree, creating a narrative that feels both royal and intimate.
The deep cerulean background acts as an atmospheric counterpoint to the warm, gilded details, ensuring the subjects remain the undisputed focal point. From the delicate beads of the headpiece to the piercing clarity in the eyes of both woman and predator, every stroke is intended to capture a sense of silent guardianship where strength is effortless and beauty is found in a state of absolute peace.
This original work measures 830mm x 580mm and is presented in a richly detailed, ornate gold frame that perfectly complements its majestic subject matter.
