Artist's Comments
The leopard is the unifying factor in this setting that holds the ‘cosmos’ depicted in the background. I have used contrasting colours (the blue of the sky and the golden earth) There is a storm brewing and yet there is quite a lot of play by the warm sunlight. The bushveld looks dry and barren, yet the rain will bring life (water is also a symbol of change)
These contrasting colours and imagery reflect on life itself. Life is made up of these contrasts – the good & the bad, lack & fulfillment, darkness & light. One cannot fully appreciate the other without experiencing its opposite aswell. It is the finding of that balance between the contrasts that is part of the essence of life. The leopard of course represents this balance, it is relaxed and at peace in its universe. The leopard’s eyes are fixed firmly on the light source ie. the sun. The sun is a source of life, without it nothing can exist. There are many positive symbols that can be derived from the sun.

 reports, 1d 8h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them, you're a mile ahead and you have their shoes.
