The King power
A frontal lion portrait emerges from the center of a natural wood slice, with the organic grain and irregular edge becoming part of the composition. Oil paint is layered in warm ochres, cream, and black accents, using soft blended passages and sharper dark lines to define the face and mane. The result feels grounded, watchful, and sculptural in character .The natural fissure dividing the lion’s face embodies inner strength and profound resilience. It celebrates the rare beauty forged through vulnerability, overcoming adversity, and the scars of life
