About the Artwork:
Her Gaze is an original contemporary wildlife painting by Kristin Kossi, capturing a moment of quiet strength: a leopard resting on the branch of a tree, its gaze directed beyond the frame into the distance.
Painted in vivid color through expressive layers of acrylic, fluid marks and dripping pigment, the work moves between representation and abstraction. The leopard emerges from the surface without losing its wildness composed and watchful, powerful yet completely at ease within its environment.
Created in the rural landscape of South Africa’s Western Cape, where Kossi lives and works surrounded by largely untouched nature, Her Gaze is closely connected to the land that increasingly informs her artistic practice. The leopard becomes more than a subject; it embodies the elusive, untamed presence of wilderness itself something that can be observed, but never fully possessed.
There is strength in her gaze, but also distance. The work explores the delicate balance between freedom and vulnerability, reflecting on the coexistence of wild species and the landscapes they depend upon.
Her Gaze forms part of Kossi’s evolving dialogue between art and nature a celebration of the beauty and autonomy of the wild, and a quiet reminder of what can disappear when its habitat is no longer protected.

My work explores freedom in its many forms through pop culture, ambition, nature and the choices that shape the way we live. In my Pop Art, familiar characters and cultural symbols become a language for exploring success, money, love, independence and the contradictions of contemporary life. Icons such as Scrooge McDuck, Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson are removed from their familiar narratives and placed into new ones sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative, but always reflecting something about the world we live in and what we choose to value. Alongside this, my abstract work has evolved through a closer connection to nature. Living and working between wild landscapes in South Africa has shifted my perspective from the symbols of success toward something more elemental — land, time, movement, solitude and the freedom that comes from living closer to nature. What connects these seemingly different bodies of work is a continuing search for freedom. Freedom to succeed. Freedom to question. Freedom to change. And ultimately, freedom to live life on your own terms. I believe art can shift perspective. For me, creativity is not only a way of making images, but a way of understanding life — and continually redefining what truly matters.
