Between Water and Air

Between Water and Air is an original acrylic painting on textured canvas depicting a Bengal tiger drinking quietly in a serene forest environment, while bar headed geese pass overhead. The birds, known for their extraordinary high altitude migration, move through the sky above the stillness of the forest floor.

The work brings together wildlife of sky and ground not in contrast, but in collaboration. Stillness and movement exist side by side, creating a moment of shared presence rather than spectacle.

The painting is detailed yet minimal in its approach. Modelling paste is used to build texture, and subtle gold details explore light across the surface. The colour palette includes forest green, Naples yellow, gold, and terracotta.
