This totem like bison portrait faces forward with steady eyes while intricate green patterns flow across the forehead like a living map. Curving lines trace horns, jaw and mane, and small landscape symbols gather around the margins to suggest rivers, trees and distant towns. The geometry is bold and centered so the head reads instantly as an emblem, yet the surface remains rich with hand carved detail.
Printed large, the rhythmic linework and layered motifs hold beautifully, giving the piece presence from across the room and discovery up close. The green and cream palette keeps the artwork modern and versatile, pairing easily with natural materials and neutral interiors. Despite its power, the expression feels calm and attentive, making the portrait welcoming rather than severe.
Drawing on folk traditions and reimagined with contemporary clarity, this work treats the bison as a guardian figure and keeper of place. It functions as a strong focal point for living rooms, studios or entry halls where symbolic imagery and refined craft meet to create a memorable, conversation starting statement.
