The background of the painting is a collage composed of various fragments of papers and fabrics with diverse patterns and colors. Plant motifs, abstract designs, and geometric shapes in shades of black, white, pink, yellow, and turquoise are visible. The overlapping layers of the collage create a rich texture and add depth to the composition. Fragments of the collage interpenetrate with the painterly parts of the acrylic in places, creating a cohesive, albeit complex, whole. The austerity of the tiger’s representation, with its almost monochromatic white, is softened by the decorativeness and color scheme of the collage. The contrast between the wild animal and the ornamental background may suggest the complexity of nature, its power, and hidden beauty. The title “Devotion” may refer to the intense gaze of the animal, suggesting focus and commitment.
“Devotion” is a proposition for lovers of small formats and animal portraits who appreciate the unique combination of painting and collage techniques. Its intense character and richness of textures catch the eye and stimulate the imagination.
