CONCEALED CONFIDENCE

Concealed Confidence, acrylic on canvas, 2023. 20" X 16"

The tiger is one of the most ancient symbols of spirituality around. The tiger embodies courage, confidence and bravery, as well as virtue, good luck, royalty, generosity, sensuality, and personal strength. These creatures come with elegance, vitality, beauty, mystery, and power that capture the imagination. Tigers symbolize superior strength and protection in many cultures, specifically in Asia.

Because of their unrivaled status as an apex predator, the tiger exudes confidence over their domain. Tigers, which usually hunt solitarily, have no rivals in their domain, and this main reason helps them exhibit a sense of confidence in their habitat. The tiger reminds you that even if you don’t feel confident in a given situation, you can still act as if you are. In some sense, they represent our nature to be fierce warriors against all odds. They represent our fierce personalities that oppose what is wrong with the world and fight for what is right. In cases when you feel somewhat timid, the tiger reminds us always to act as if we are courageous. 

Primarily nocturnal, the tiger is known to be a stealthy hunter, using its stripes to camouflage itself in tall grass when hunting, making them extremely independent and shrewd animals. The tiger spirit animal reminds you that being book-smart and following the crowd is the key to survival and success. The shrewdness of the tiger's hunting skills reminds you to always be calculating your next move and save our energies for important things.

Tigers are also possessors of great passion, which makes them a creative force. They can channel their creative forces in many ways. Because tigers are so emotional, they can honestly express their emotions, and they own up to their passions, inspiring others to do the same.

  Cosmic Conquerors , acrylic on canvas, 2023. 30" X 20" In the early days of rocket science, no one knew what spaceflight was like, which is why engineers flew animals into space to test the survivability of spaceflight and learn how to launch and land living beings safely and to better understand how spaceflight might affect human bodies. These efforts paved the way to the subsequent human exploration of space.  Animal space explorers The first animals to reach space were fruit flies, which were launched on Feb. 20, 1947 by the United States. The flies were placed aboard captured German V-2 rockets in an experiment to study radiation exposure at high altitudes. In 3 minutes and 10 seconds of flight, the fruit flies reached an altitude of 68 miles before parachuting back to Earth. The flies miraculously survived the spaceflight. The first animal to orbit the Earth was a dog named Laika, launched aboard Sputnik 2 by the Soviet Union on November 3, 1957. However,...
