The tiger is one of the oldest deities in China, occupying a very important role in its mythology and opposing the dragon.

His fierceness and majesty made him the protagonist of a mythology centered on war and death, but also on the transformations of the spirit and access to paradise, as well as rebirth, reproduction and an exuberant sexuality.

If the tiger is also white, it symbolizes royal virtue. 

Symbol of beauty, strength, perseverance and observation, in this painting a young naked woman in an attitude of prayer is camouflaged in her spots.

As in a dream, the tiger asks us to become aware that we are the ones who must protect the animal species before making them disappear completely from the face of the earth.

The work is a call for attention to the human being, a plea to stop its devastation and annihilation, since the tiger, like all the big cats on the planet and like many other wild species, suffer persecution and hunting, the destruction of their habitats and the commercialization of their death.
