About the artwork

In “Tiger in the Grass,” I explore themes of inner strength, identity, and the courage to assert oneself in a hostile and unforgiving world. The figure’s confident, powerful pose represents defiance against forces that seek to strip us of our individuality, reducing us to obedient shadows of ourselves. This is a visual testament to the resilience needed to resist oppression and reclaim agency over one’s life and identity.

The tiger’s face, serving as a mask for the human form, speaks to the duality of our existence. It reflects the instinctual need to conceal vulnerability behind a facade of strength. The predator’s mask becomes both a tool for survival and a symbol of anonymity in a world that often punishes authenticity. This duality embodies the tension between the desire to be true to oneself and the fear of rejection or misunderstanding.

At its core, this painting is a reflection on the shame tied to personal desires and the impossibility of expressing them freely. The lush, vibrant grass and surreal hues create a dreamlike masquerade, evoking the idea of a playful yet uneasy dance between what we long for and what we are allowed to show. It’s a world where boldness and inhibition coexist, where masks both protect and imprison.

“Tiger in the Grass” invites the viewer to confront their own fears, embrace their hidden desires, and find the courage to unapologetically inhabit their true selves—even in a world that demands conformity.
