This original painting by Gina Hawkshaw, titled "Tiger Eyes II", measures 36" x 48" inches and offers an intimate, close-up portrait of a tiger, focusing on the animal's captivating gaze. Gina's celebrated wildlife portraiture allows viewers to connect emotionally with her subjects, and in "Tiger Eyes II", the tiger’s intense eyes are the focal point, offering a glimpse into the soul of the majestic creature. The fine details of the tiger’s fur and vibrant stripes are carefully crafted, creating a lifelike and engaging representation of the animal.
Gina works from high-quality photographs, using acrylic paint to recreate her subjects in extraordinary detail. The fast-drying nature of acrylics allows her to build layers and achieve the fine strokes needed to give life and authenticity to the textures of the animal’s fur. Each portrait is placed against a neutral background, allowing the colours and details of the tiger to stand out in bold relief.
Gina's passion for wildlife and art shines through in this piece. Born in Wiltshire in 1975, she has always been fascinated by the animal kingdom, particularly big cats, and this has greatly influenced her work. After many years in a different career, she began painting wildlife full-time in 2011. Since then, she has garnered attention from prestigious galleries across the UK, with collectors including a director of London Zoo. She was also shortlisted for the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year award in 2019, further cementing her reputation as a leading wildlife artist.
