Redwind and Lion II – African painting in powerful earth tones
The Dignity of the Lion
The painting “Redwind and Lion II” (2006) shows a lion in full presence. Its appearance is powerful and at the same time calm as it strides through a wide landscape suffused with earthy, warm tones. The animal’s gaze is focused and radiates authority – a symbol of the lion’s undisputed role as “king of the animals.”
Fossil painting technique and color effect
The fossil technique with its structured surface creates depth and tactile tension. Glazes in beige, brown and subtle red nuances merge into a harmonious, almost archaic visual language. The work is reminiscent of rock paintings, yet remains modern through its large-scale, abstracting composition.
Symbolism and expression
The lion embodies strength, courage and dignity. Combined with the Redwind color palette, it becomes an artistic homage to the African wilderness – raw, powerful and full of history.
