Bagha Nata (Dual Tiger Vibrance) Mixed Media Animal Painting

Split by a vertical seam of pink and blood-red, the tiger is rendered as a charged emblem rather than a naturalistic animal—half vanishing body and half confrontational visage, as if the image is caught between escape and announcement. The circular format behaves like a ceremonial shield, tightening the space so the striped flank and coiling tail become rhythmic forces that drive the eye toward the open maw. Flat, lacquered color and graphic contouring heighten the sense of folklore and icon, turning ferocity into a stylized language of protection, warning, and primal vitality. In this compressed arena, the beast reads as a threshold figure: a guardian of boundaries where innocence and danger meet.
