Still a Cat

In one of my visits to the Zoo I captured this beautiful animal in my camera. Totally relaxed, and ignoring the people around him! I love cats, and big cats too! It breaks my heart knowing how much those animals are exploited and almost extinct in the wild. On this painting my main focus was to show his beauty and dignity.
Please note that I try to be the most accurate as possible with my photos, however different monitors settings may alter slightly the colours of the artwork.

Hi, Thank you for visiting my page
My name is Ana Nogueira, I am Portuguese (born in Mozambique). I arrived in Australian in 2016, and became a citizen in 2024.
I am self taught, and what I paint has been evolving and changing as I change! I paint with oils and recently exploring Gouache and oil pastels.
I look for balance and harmony in what I create and focus on the story I want to tell!
I love to be surrounded by things that mean something to me, that have a story behind.
Painting animals is very satisfying, I try to capture one moment in time of their lives. However I paint anything that grabs my attention really!
My perfect day is to be at home with my 2 cats (Mushroom & Valentina) , a cup of coffee and work on a painting, simply getting lost in time!
I love color; greens, blues, yellow and pink are my favorites colors ,and my ultimate wish is to convey a feeling of peace, naivety , happiness and good vibes with my work.
