This is the original drawing of "MADAME TIGER LILY" art. Created with Watercolor, Ink and gold paint on 12x16" Arches 140lb coldpress. 2019. by Alexander M. Dakos.
 
"Madame Tigerlily is a striking portrait that captures the raw power and quiet mysticism of the Bengal tiger. Emerging from water in a moment of explosive motion, the tiger appears both fierce and composed, its gaze steady and commanding. Yet within this powerful presence, something unexpected unfolds—organic, floral forms begin to grow and flow from the tiger’s fur, intertwining with its natural patterns like living ornamentation. These delicate botanical shapes soften the intensity of the animal’s strength, creating a visual dialogue between power and grace. Among these emerging forms, a single tiger lily flower rises—a quiet symbol of beauty, resilience, and transformation. Rendered primarily in black and white, the composition emphasizes contrast, movement, and the elegance of line. Subtle touches of gold shimmer throughout the piece, suggesting an inner luminosity that elevates the image beyond the natural world into something almost mythic. Balancing strength with ethereal delicacy, Madame Tigerlily explores the harmony between nature’s primal force and its quiet, ornamental beauty. The work invites viewers to see the tiger not only as a symbol of power, but as a living embodiment of nature’s mystery, where ferocity and grace exist as one."
