Artist's Comments

Dangerous Intimacy, fearful beauty.

This is actually an unfinished piece from...oooh looks like November of 2007. I have had various personal and health issues that have been keeping me fairly tied up and so there are a good few pieces sitting unfinished on my pc. This was one I suddenly felt the need to finish and I am happy I did so as I think it lit a well needed fire in me...or at least a flame anyway.

Thank you to all those that continue to follow this account and to give your valuable time to stop by and look at my work. You remind me why I should continue to share and create this work..

(The character depicted is my liger self/totem etc, though her features have shifted to become more Tigonish in nature.)

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like?

The title reminds me of the poem Tyger, Tyger by Blake

Oh my god, this is so gorgeousss!! I really love the little bits of texture in the nose, the piercing blue eyes. The fur flows so nicely and the colors are terrific! Awesome work Balaa, one of my favorites. :D
