"Silent Hunter" is a breathtaking limited-edition original painting that captures the stealthy grace and raw power of a mountain lion (cougar/puma) stalking through a snow-laden winter forest. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece (limited edition 1/1) measures 36 inches high by 27 inches wide on a premium 2-inch deep gallery-wrapped canvas, offering a bold, ready-to-hang presence with deep dimensional impact—no frame required.
The majestic cat prowls forward in mid-stride, piercing green eyes locked on its unseen prey, muscles taut beneath a richly detailed tawny coat dusted with fresh snow. Surrounding evergreens are blanketed in heavy white, their branches glistening under a soft, diffused winter light, while delicate snowflakes drift through the air, adding an ethereal sense of quiet motion and isolation.
Primarily executed in acrylic for vibrant color fidelity and crisp detail, the work is enhanced with select applications of oil paint to build luxurious texture and subtle sheen across the fur, snow, and shadowed foliage. Thick, glossy black paint is layered into the tree trunks and branches, creating a striking contrast that makes the darkness feel wet, reflective, and almost alive. Genuine plexiglass "ice" elements are meticulously integrated into the snow-covered branches and foreground, catching and refracting light to mimic real frozen crystals—adding a sparkling, tactile realism that shifts beautifully under different angles and lighting.
A powerful statement piece blending wildlife realism, atmospheric winter drama, and opulent mixed-media craftsmanship, "Silent Hunter" evokes themes of solitude, primal instinct, and the serene beauty of nature’s apex predator. Signed "NYX" and dated '25. Ideal for collectors drawn to big-cat art, winter wilderness scenes, symbolic strength, and richly embellished fine-art originals.
