“Courage” - Original Print

“Courage” - Original Print by Maryanne Grando 

Archival Ink on 310gsm Rag Paper, Signed by Artist 

In "Courage," I wanted to capture more than just the majestic presence of a lion; I wanted to embody the deep, unwavering truth of inner fortitude. The lion, for me, is an enduring symbol of courage, leadership, and the wisdom that comes from facing challenges head-on.

The lion’s intense gaze is not just a look of dominance; it is a look of knowing. It speaks of a wisdom born from experience and a quiet power that is both grounded and unwavering. The shimmering golden colours I've woven into the mane is a deliberate choice—it evokes a regality, yes, but also the resilience that comes from being tested. The warm earth tones and bold brushwork in the background suggest a world shaped by fire and profound experience, yet the lion remains a beacon of calm.

This piece is not just a celebration of the animal’s majesty, but a conversation about personal power and perseverance. It is a work for those who seek to understand the source of their own strength. "Courage" is a commanding statement for any space, designed for collectors who connect with the lion's timeless energy and the profound truth that true power is found within.
