Painting description:
Just Visiting opens onto a lush, dreamlike garden where time seems suspended and every leaf, stone, and reflection holds a quiet intention.
At its center, a tiger steps lightly across stepping stones, neither hunting nor hiding, but moving with quiet curiosity.
The garden is lavish and layered, almost theatrical in its abundance. Tropical foliage crowds the scene in rhythmic patterns—palms, orchids, broad leaves, and flowering forms rendered with loving precision and ornamental flair. Colour hums everywhere: saturated pinks and reds bloom in the foreground, cool greens and blues ripple through the water, and golds and ochres warm the background like late afternoon light. Nothing is wild in the sense of chaos; everything feels arranged, intentional, and watched over and yet the wild is celebrated and encouraged.
Water mirrors and softens the scene, reflecting fragments of leaves and sky, blurring the boundary between what is real and what is imagined. Ceramic vessels, manicured stones, and architectural hints suggest human presence without showing a single person. This is a space designed for contemplation, not survival.
The tiger, exquisitely detailed and poised mid-step, becomes a living question. It is powerful yet restrained, its gaze turned outward as if aware of being observed. In this cultivated paradise, it is both magnificent and slightly out of place—a reminder of a wilder world pressing gently against the edges of beauty and control.
Just Visiting speaks to impermanence and quiet tension: nature stepping into human order, or human order stepping into nature. The exotic crossing into the ornamental, the untamed softened by design. It invites the viewer to linger in that in-between moment, where awe replaces ownership, and presence is enough.
