These are family units that may include up to three males, a dozen or so females, and their young. All of a pride’s lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the group as they age. Young males eventually leave and establish their own prides by taking over a group headed by another male. Only male lions boast manes, the impressive fringe of long hair that encircles their heads. Males defend the pride's territory, which may include some 100 square miles (259 square kilometers) of grasslands, scrub, or open woodlands. These intimidating animals mark the area with urine, roar menacingly to warn intruders, and chase off animals that encroach on their turf. Female lions are the pride's primary hunters. They often work together to prey upon antelopes, zebras, wildbeest, and other large animals of the open grasslands. Many of these animals are faster than lions, so teamwork pays off. After the hunt, the group effort often degenerates to squabbling over the sharing of the kill, with cubs at the bottom of the pecking order. Young lions do not help to hunt until they are about a year old. Lions will hunt alone if the opportunity presents itself, and they also steal kills from hyenas or wild dogs. Lions have been celebrated throughout history for their courage and strength. They once roamed most of Africa and parts of Asia and Europe. Today they are found only in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, except for one very small population of Asian Lions...

"Surreal Portrait of Mr. Cabbage on Purple Background" is a limited edition high-quality Dibond direct UV Print, part of the "Fetiches" series by Natasha Lelenco. This intriguing piece combines Lelenco’s distinctive style of anthropomorphic portraiture with surrealism, featuring a figure with a cabbage head wearing a yellow hat against a vibrant purple background. The piece reflects the artist’s exploration of biophilia, where humanity is portrayed as an integral part of nature rather than its focal point. Each print, numbered 25 of 25, captures a fusion of botanical and anthropomorphic elements, resulting in a visually arresting and conceptually rich artwork. Lelenco has carefully hand-finished each print, adding subtle details and enhancing the vivid colors. The prints are varnished, signed, and numbered on the back, and come ready to hang with a system that creates the illusion of the artwork floating on the wall. Customers can also choose to frame the piece if desired. The artwork presents a surreal and whimsical figure with a cabbage for a head, flanked by insects and adorned with a yellow beanie, all set against a bold purple background. This blend of natural elements and surrealist imagery makes the piece both visually striking and thought-provoking, encouraging viewers to contemplate the deeper connections between nature, identity, and the absurd. The high-quality Dibond direct UV Print, finished and varnished by the artist herself, ensures durability and brilliant color retention, making this piece a lasting and valuable addition to any art collection. As with all pieces in the "Fetiches" series, this edition can stand alone or be combined with others to create a cohesive display. Natasha Lelenco’s "Fetiches" series skillfully merges portraiture and surrealism, utilizing a meticulous accumulation of botanical and anthropomorphic forms. These elements are interwoven with thematic explorations that delve into biophilia, kitsch aesthetics, and the surreal. Drawing from her personal history, Lelenco constructs a dialogue between memory and imagination, bringing new life to fragments of the past to challenge conventional narratives. The psychological depth and classical influences in her work create a seamless blend between Renaissance portraiture and contemporary expression. Her "Fetiches" series notably echoes the artistic legacy of Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, solidifying its place in the realm of contemporary art.
