Original artwork description:

'Cat with a red stripe', oil on canvas, is based on a research on the Holocaust. The painting was inspired partly by the French painter Henry Rousseau's naive style and the tiger is 'borrowed' from one of his paintings. The tiger is watched by the cat with the red stripe. The cat is marked, it's different to other felines as it got a red stripe on her face, she is standing calm watching the tiger approaching. The animal world has got a symbolic aspect here, it represents one of humanity's greatest inner conflict, self extermination.

Original artwork, oil on canvas, ready to hang.
