Information About Artwork

This captivating oil on paper painting presents a surreal and thought-provoking scene, masterfully blending wildlife art with classical themes. A majestic pride of lions, led by a powerful male with a striking silver mane and intense golden eyes, dominates the composition. They rest amidst the crumbling grandeur of Roman ruins, their wild nature starkly contrasted against the remnants of a fallen empire under a dramatic sky. Several lionesses and their cubs gather around a recent zebra kill, a raw depiction of the circle of life. However, the scene is intriguingly disturbed by modern debris in the foreground—a discarded cup and slices of bread—introducing a powerful layer of contemporary commentary on humanity's impact. The Colombian artist employs incredible realism, masterfully rendering the soft texture of fur, the cold stone of the ancient columns, and the atmospheric depth. This significant figurative animal painting serves as a powerful statement piece, prompting contemplation on themes of power, decay, nature's enduring sovereignty, and civilization's transient legacy. It’s an unforgettable work of contemporary realism that would anchor any fine art collection or interior design.tags: lion art, animal painting, wildlife art, figurative painting, surrealism, oil on paper, classical ruins, Colombian artist, lion pride, majestic lion, symbolic art, contemporary realism. size: 150X150 (Height/Width) in cm.
