“Eye of the Tiger” is an original wildlife painting created using professional‑grade oil paints and expressive palette knife techniques. This abstract impressionistic tiger artwork captures the raw intensity, emotion, and presence of one of nature’s most powerful animals.

Inspired by a remarkable moment at the Adelaide Zoo, this piece focuses on the tiger’s mesmerising gaze. While surrounded by tourists trying to get the perfect photo, I fumbled with my phone—unlocking it, framing the shot, zooming in—when suddenly the tiger turned and held direct eye contact with me. For a few still, electric seconds, time stopped. It felt as though he understood, patiently waiting until I captured the reference images I needed. Then, just as quietly, he looked away.

That unforgettable connection is the heart of this painting. The bold textures, layered colour, and energetic palette‑knife strokes highlight the tiger’s eyes—symbolising strength, awareness, and the silent communication between human and animal.

This artwork is perfect for collectors who love tiger art, big cat paintings, wildlife wall art, animal portraits, Australian art, and contemporary impressionism. It brings a sense of power, mystery, and wild beauty to any home, office, or gallery space.
