Solitary Yak by the Lake

Solitary Yak by the Lake, Figure & Portrait
Solitary Yak by the Lake
Inspiration: A lone yak stands by the tranquil waters of a highland lake, embodying the quiet solitude and vastness of its natural surroundings. The piece explores the interplay between isolation and serenity, celebrating the nomadic spirit.
Process: Using a muted yet rich color palette, the painting was built up with layers of oil paint to create depth in the reflections and the yak’s textured fur. The composition balances the solid presence of the animal with the openness of the landscape, emphasizing a sense of peaceful solitude.
