In this intimate life study, a Siamese cat gazes upward with piercing blue eyes, its presence both calm and alert. A soft pink rose enters the composition from above, creating a delicate tension between animal and botanical life.
The warm, wood-toned floor contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the cat’s fur and the softness of the bloom, grounding the piece in domestic familiarity while elevating it through painterly detail and composition.
This work blends portraiture and still life—an homage to companionship, quiet interiors, and fleeting moments of attention. Ideal for collectors who appreciate narrative realism with a contemporary painter’s touch. The original entitled "Shiva" was painted with an oil-based medium on canvas in 1994.
