After a long period away from art, this was one of Ariana’s first pieces as she reignited her artistic spark. This piece is heavily influenced by the emotions she was experiencing directly after some life-altering events. Tigers are a symbol for courage or bravery in Chinese tradition. The tiger here is a visualization of the courage gained to follow her dreams rather than continuing down the conventional path laid out for her. The text in the painting means courageous, bold, or daring in Chinese. During the creation of this piece, Ariana used oil paint, pastels, magazine clippings, and even used various leaves and flowers to create shapes and textures. It is professionally framed in a thin, simple black frame.
