Description of the Artwork
The Siberians is a powerful testament to Simon Combes' mastery of the Siberian (Amur) Tiger. In this expansive composition, Combes captures a pair of these magnificent predators navigating the deep, silent snows of their northern habitat. The work is celebrated not just for its anatomical precision, but for the "tactile" quality of the tigers' fur against the biting cold of the winter air.
As a Greenwich Workshop release, the print features high-fidelity offset lithography on neutral pH, archival-quality paper. The large format allows the viewer to appreciate the intricate details of the frost-laden environment and the intense, focused expressions of the cats. This edition, limited to 850 prints, has become increasingly difficult to find in Mint, unframed condition since the artist's passing in 2004.
Artist Bio: Simon Combes
Simon Combes was one of the world's most distinguished wildlife artists. Born in England and raised in Kenya, Combes spent much of his life in the African bush, a background that gave his work a level of authenticity and "vitality" rarely seen in the genre. He served as the Director of the Kenya Wildlife Service and was a passionate conservationist.
Combes was the recipient of the Society of Animal Artists' "Award of Excellence" and was named the "Wildlife Artist of the Year" by the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation. His partnership with The Greenwich Workshop brought his visions of global predators—from the plains of the Serengeti to the snows of Siberia—to a worldwide audience. Today, his work is held in prestigious museums and private collections as a legacy of both artistic brilliance and conservation advocacy.
