THE KING AND THE SWARM

MX$12,000.00

The tiger rests with the confidence of a king, yet the world surrounding him refuses to remain still. Bees gather overhead, palm trees rise behind him, and circles, grids, and spontaneous gestures interrupt the landscape like signals from another reality.

A second tiger appears inside a blue geometric field—part animal, part image, part memory. Together, the two figures move between instinct and representation, while the restless swarm reminds us that even the most powerful creature cannot completely control its surroundings.

With humor and visual tension, Jaime Shelley transforms the ceramic plate into a territory where nature, symbols, and popular imagery coexist without hierarchy.

An original, one-of-a-kind ceramic artwork by Jaime Shelley.

Technique: Hand-painted low-fire ceramic with mixed-media techniques

Dimensions: 38 cm diameter × 4 cm high
