Snow leopards are one of the world's most endangered big cats and also one of the most elusive. They are solitary animals, only interacting with other snow leopards during mating season. Due to habitat loss, they are being driven to closer proximity with humans and are often preying on livestock, creating a negative stigma amongst local famers and villagers amongst their range. Unfortunately, they are also hunted for their beautiful fur. I wanted to create a piece of artwork that captured the soul of the snow leopard, and that caught the viewer off-guard as they gaze into the eyes of this incredible, elusive big cat.
