Not free.Not trapped.Just held. :“Held / Unheld” is a 36x48 inch original painting centered on stillness as a state of containment. The composition places the subject low within the canvas, allowing a large surrounding field to create a sense of weight and quiet pressure. Layered marks, softened edges, and controlled contrasts allow the image to sit rather than perform. The panther exists within the painting rather than on top of it, reinforcing the idea of presence without movement. Part of the Held / Unheld series, this work reflects moments that remain unresolved—where nothing shifts, yet something is still there. Details: Original painting 36 x 48 inches Acrylic / mixed media on canvas Signed by the artist Ready to hang A grounded, contemplative piece for spaces that value stillness and depth.
