Wildtender

“Wildtender” – Original Oil on Canvas
Strength and softness. Power and peace.
These are the contrasts that gave birth to Wildtender—a painting that explores the most delicate form of trust: the kind shared between the untamed and the deeply human.
This piece came from a dreamlike vision: a young woman resting, not beside, but within the presence of a tiger. Her body, relaxed and serene, gently leans against the powerful animal, as if their energies were perfectly in sync. It’s a moment of absolute surrender—a visual metaphor for the harmony that can exist between fearlessness and tenderness.
The brushwork is rich, intuitive, and textured. The tiger’s fur is a blaze of warm ochres, sienna, and fiery oranges, painted in expressive, fluid strokes that radiate warmth and movement. The woman’s skin is soft, almost glowing, kissed with tones of rose and gold, while her hair flows like a river through the jungle of color. The green background whispers of nature, but the real scene is not external—it’s emotional.
“Wildtender” speaks to the part of us that longs to be held by something greater than ourselves, yet craves to hold back with love. It invites the viewer to reflect on their own duality: the wild instinct and the tender soul.
Perfect for intimate interiors, creative spaces, or anywhere a sense of emotional connection is welcomed, this painting is more than decor—it’s a statement of balance, of trust, and of quiet strength.
Let Wildtender remind you:
Even the fiercest hearts are capable of softness.
And even in the wild, love knows how to rest.
