The acrylic painting started life as a detailed pencil and charcoal sketch of a tiger’s head on canvas.

Since being in lockdown in March 2020, Ryan has managed to create more than 50 different works of art for people across the UK and is currently making and creating an array of different styles for an exhibition he is planning after the pandemic.

Ryan said “To have my work entered in such a prestigious event means the world to me.

“I have always had a keen passion and interest in all styles of art and have recently rekindled my passion for it. I feel like you can get lost in the contrast of alluring colours used in this piece, but you are in the eye of the tiger and you are its prey.”
