This exquisite series saw its inception in 2016 and features immaculate artistic renderings of one of the world's most endangered big cat species, the Korean or Siberian Tiger.
The South Korean or Siberian Tiger is the largest cat in the world, growing up to an average of 11 feet long. They reside in a small region in the southeast area of Russia, and are also located in small numbers in China and North Korea. Despite being called the South Korean Tiger, the bamboo forests of Korea are no longer home to this majestic predator. Korean legend says that the last Korean Tiger was seen and hunted on Mount Daeduk in Gyeonju in 1922. It is believed that only 400 of the species remain, in the far eastern parts of Russia and Siberia.
