Survivor

Once numbering in the tens of millions, the American bison came remarkably close to extinction before making one of history’s greatest wildlife recoveries. Survivor is a tribute to that extraordinary resilience and to the enduring strength found in nature.

Built upon layers of vintage papers, maps, handwritten documents, and textured collage, the painting tells a story that reaches beyond the portrait itself. Each layer represents fragments of history, memory, and the passage of time, while the bison emerges as a symbol of perseverance against overwhelming odds.

This piece combines expressive realism with mixed media techniques, allowing the collage to become an essential part of the narrative rather than simply a background.
