cheetah | charcoal on paper

Framed.

The cheetah is the embodiment of elegant power — the lightest, leanest of Africa’s big cats, built for extraordinary speed. Reaching bursts of up to 110 km/h, they rely on explosive acceleration, long flexible spines, and counterbalancing tails to outrun prey in short, intense chases. Their distinctive black tear marks are more than beautiful markings; they help reduce glare and sharpen focus during hunts, acting like natural sunshades. This charcoal artwork captures the alert poise of a predator always reading the landscape — a moment of stillness before the sprint. A striking, contemporary piece for collectors who admire Africa’s most refined and specialised hunter.
