The Tiger and the Monkey_Plastic Nature III

🌱An orange and black striped balloon tiger rests in a lush tropical jungle, accompanied by a monkey and a lizard among the vegetation. This large-format 110x110cm painting is one of the most complex works in the series due to the attention to detail of the tiger's reflections and the abundance of natural elements.

This wild animal painting began with a study of real tigers and was later transformed into a helium balloon version. The tropical jungle leaves are rendered in different shades of green, creating depth in the jungle. Nature art merges here with a reflection on artificial materials.

I used the uncovered linen canvas in areas of the background to create a sense of lush vegetation. Perfect as a decorative painting for large spaces seeking an exotic decor with contemporary art.
