Inner Pause

This hand-painted silk artwork captures a quiet, intimate moment — a tiger turning its head, suspended between stillness and motion.

Painted on natural silk using the artist’s unique technique, the pigments are absorbed directly into the fabric, creating a soft, luminous surface where light seems to emerge from within the image itself. The absence of gesso or primer allows the silk to remain alive — responsive, delicate, and subtly radiant.

The tiger is not portrayed as a symbol of aggression, but as a presence: attentive, restrained, and deeply aware. The gentle transition between shadow and light emphasizes the animal’s inner tension — a moment before action, before decision.

This is a one-of-a-kind work, created through numerous thin layers of color, requiring patience and precision. The result is a sense of depth and quiet power that cannot be replicated or reproduced.
