Beneath the shelter of his mother’s chin, a lion cub finds comfort and safety, while her gaze extends beyond — steady, strong, and ever-watchful. Painted in lush greens and glowing golds, this work captures both tenderness and vigilance: the lioness as nurturer and protector, the cub as cherished and secure.

Abstract drips and sprays of paint flow across the canvas, blurring the line between realism and expression. They echo the untamed beauty of the wild, a reminder that love itself is both fierce and fluid, both grounding and free.

In the eyes of the lioness we see the essence of guardianship — a quiet strength that watches over, a love that protects. “Watchful Eyes” honors the profound bond between mother and child in the animal kingdom, while inviting us to reflect on the universal power of care, connection, and trust.
