A symbol of divine protection, wisdom, and Dharma. This piece has been a true joy to create. I worked with abstract, finishing the final touches with a palette knife—my favorite tool for exploring depth and texture. Each stroke unfolds layers of color, abstraction, and emotion, weaving together strength and serenity without losing the essence of the lion.
Heart of the Lion is about creating space, releasing what no longer serves, and allowing harmony to naturally emerge. It carries the energy of courage and guardianship, while inviting stillness and balance within.
