Original artwork description

This is more than a portrait; it is an encounter with one’s own inner self—a being that is simultaneously a predator and a fragile bloom. His gaze pierces through you, as if he holds the secret to the birth of color and stands watch over the entrance to the forgotten garden of the human soul.
Night-sky tulips, crowning his head, serve as a symbol of quiet power and profound vulnerability. This piece captures the moment we don our armor and face the world with a proud sternness, all to protect the flowers growing within us. The cold, blue velvet of his plumage resonates with the burning gold of the background, creating a tension between restless anxiety and majestic calm.
After all, true greatness is born where an unbreakable will meets absolute tenderness.

Let this guardian remind you that your sensitivity is your greatest strength.
