ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Klara started her scratchboard journey in 2025. This lion’s majestic look captured her immediately, and reminded her of her favourite animation movie. She worked on it mostly with tattoo needles. Male lions are always a challenge for Klara, because of their mane and short fur. It took 17 hours to complete and Klara loved every minute of it.

Medium: Scratchboard
Category: Facing Extinction
