"I've loved painting the tiger since I was a child, it's a wild animal that gives me a feeling of strength."
Tisha
All my paintings are entirely handmade and are unique and original pieces.
My artworks, of hyperrealistic and with a photographic style, have got as main subjects animals, mostly exotic ones such as elephants, giraffes or leopards, or typical of the Sardinian territory. I manage to highlight the details, meticulously cared for, and to focus attention on the subject, which is the only character of the work: the background, in fact, is absent, it is mostly monochrome and it emphasizes the focus on the animal, abstracting and extracting it from a real space.
My style is defined as pop - hyperrealism because the subjects are painted following a detailed technique, but their position in an unreal space gives the artworks features that are more typical of pop art, so hyperrealism and a graphic style melt. I use different techniques according to the subject and the effects I want to obtein.

The tiger, a symbol of strength and power, is a sacred animal in many cultures, which has fed myths and legends.
Today there are only 6 subspecies, all of which live in Asia: the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger, the Malay tiger, the Sumatran tiger, the Indo-Chinese tiger, the south China tiger.
The terrible decimation of the last century has led to the killing of 90% of wild tigers: there are about 4,000 left worldwide and the tiger has become an endangered animal.
The tiger is a carnivorous mammal that is located in the top step of the food chain, that is, above the tiger there are no other predators. The threat of extinction of tigers also affects the survival of other animal species that share its natural habitat.
Some species of tigers that survived the extinction are protected by the WWF.
