The imposing face of the Lion emerges with an almost regal intensity from a neutral background, where the shades of burnt gold, earthy brown and red ochre blend in a liquid embrace that pulsates with life.
 The composition is crossed by aggressive and dynamic brushstrokes that make the mane almost tangible, framing the intense gaze.

 You're not just looking at a painting; you're honoring the king of nature through sensory art.
 This is not a simple animal representation, but the result of a profound celebration of power and calm, where each layer of color has been constructed to evoke the warmth of the savannah.
 The work is embellished with rich textures that imitate the movement of the mane and touches of light that capture the eye.
 These tactile and visual elements give the piece a depth that changes with the ambient light, accentuating the portrait's fierceness.

 Your space will gain in bold character and natural elegance, thanks to the perfect balance created between the warm tones and the imperturbable expression of Leo.

 This work was created entirely by hand, celebrating the magic of "wet-on-wet" watercolor, allowing water and pigment to dance freely on the fine handmade cotton paper, which adds an unmistakable and authentic texture.
