Panthera is one of the genera within the family Felidae. Black panthers are the name of dark-colored individuals of a number of large cat species, which are a genetic variant of coloration. This is a manifestation of melanism. The black panther is not an independent species. Most often it is a leopard, sometimes a jaguar. Among big cats, melanism is usually more common in populations that live in dense forests. Under the conditions of a lack of light, dark animals are less visible here than in open areas, which makes it easier for them to survive. Black panthers, like other subspecies of leopards, are included in IUCN Red List assessors. The size of the painting is 45×60 cm/ 18×24 inches. It is stretched on a wooden underframe and ready to hang. The frame is not included! It will look much better when framed into a suitable baguette (frame). The canvas is of high Italian quality. The painting is hand-signed. It will look good in the living room, bedroom, or office in a classical style
I was born in a small Ukrainian town in 1971. I have never been taught art. But I draw and paint every moment of my life. As a child, I lived in a house with lots of animals and observed their behavior. I learned to portray the emotions and movements of pets on her own since there was no art school in the town. Fleeing the war, I appeared in Denmark where I am based now. With my brush, I research emotions with the aim of opposing and finding common ground between human and animal psychology. In my works, I strive to awaken empathy and pay tribute to animals that fill our lives with devotion and love, and inspire us with their natural beauty. I speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
