About the artist

A keen amateur artist in her spare time, Amit regained a passion for art after a recent period of time spent living and experiencing the artistic culture of the Dutch masters in the Netherlands and under the tutelage of more contemporary artists in Amsterdam.

About the art

Adorned with a striped, reddish-orange coat and equipped with an acute sense of hearing and night vision, tigers are one of nature’s most revered and feared predators. The tiger (Panthera tigris) is one of the world’s most recognizable animals, intimately connected with strength and untamed nature. A symbol of nature’s wild places, significant in faiths and folktales of many civilizations, tigers inspire millions of people around the globe, from the monasteries in Bhutan to the catwalks of Milan. Sadly, tigers are on the brink of extinction. Just over a century ago, 100,000 wild tigers roamed across Asia. Today, approximately 5,600 live in a mere five per cent of their historic range. The largest tiger population can now be found in India, home to half of all remaining wild tigers. Much of this decline has occurred in the past decade.
