"Averment IV" is the latest embodiment of a story that began years ago — a visual meditation on power, presence, and restraint. It is the fourth piece in an evolving series that uses the lion, timeless symbol of strength and sovereignty, as both metaphor and mirror.
In this installment, the lion no longer watches from afar or roars from stillness — he moves. Emerging from the shadows with silent confidence, he walks forward, no need to warn, no need to prove. His power is unspoken, yet undeniable. It’s the energy of a force that doesn’t announce itself — it arrives.
Rooted in the artist’s own journey as a Leo and as a creator, this work reflects a deeper philosophy: that true impact doesn’t come from noise, but from presence. From consistency. From work that speaks for itself.
The Averment series began in 2016 as a personal exploration of growth, self-mastery, and the many ways strength can show up. Each chapter captures a different stage in that journey — from quiet observation to open declaration — and now, with "Averment IV", to decisive motion.
