#tb to an earlier time.. There are Tigers, and then there are those who pose. Who are you gonna be? Be a Tiger. A real one. ‘Strife of Desire’ There are so many elements to this painting. To the composition mimicking a #carvaggio, The symbolism of a white peacock on a pitchfork , the warrior archetype and man wearing a tiger costume. The masks and masquerade. Puppets and affections feigned. What’s given and left for waste.. Is it love unrequited or a spectacle caged? What you don’t see is the carcasses of white peacocks in the corner and spectators gaze through the window.. added later.. Can you figure it out? #strifeofdesire #canadianartist #artistmasik #femalepainters #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #tiger #archetypes #classicalmythology #symbolismart #pamelamasik_artist #cdmxart #artagent #artcollector
