Dancing Tigers

Dancing Tigers is part of Cynthia Howard's series of oil paintings where a colourful abstract interpretation emanates from the realistically rendered. The series stems from the perspective that humans and creatures have a dynamic inner world that, whilst intangible, is rich and ever present.

Cynthia Howard often nurtures her pieces with layers of detail so that viewers can sit intimately with the painting (for example as close a distance as one might sit next to a close friend) and be absorbed in the intricacies depicted. However, the work is not so detailed that the viewer loses the sense that the image is a painting and as such is an intentional construction being presented for contemplation.

Cynthia Howard is a contemporary artist working mostly in oil paints. Her concepts come from stream-of-consciousness and either manifest as the free-flowing lines in her colourful abstract figures, or as the surrealist undertones in her realistically painted compositions. Sometimes she combines realism with her abstract figures in one concept. Cynthia Howard’s work surrounds an interest in life philosophy, meaningful relationships and self actualisation. The portraits and subjects she portrays are treated with reverence, focussing on their self-ownership, strength and wholeness. Her paintings deal predominately with the richness of our internal psychological and emotional world and musings about how we radiate energy and intention in our outer world.
