“Lynx” is a 40×50 cm acrylic on canvas portrait painted in 2024. Its intense, amber eyes lock onto the viewer, conveying both curiosity and wild instinct.
A shimmering silver pattern fills the background, suggesting moonlit forests and fleeting shadows. Soft, impressionistic strokes capture the lynx’s mottled fur and tufted ears.
Since lynx hunting was banned in Estonia in 2016, these majestic cats have bounced back in number. This work honors their resilience and calls us to safeguard our native wildlife.
