This painting is the first in a series of illustrations based on Jalaluddin Rumi’s poem titled ‘The Lion and the Beasts’, a discourse between pre-destiny and free will. I took the main gist of the story and illustrated it. The first illustration shows the lion attacking the animals in a peaceful green valley, disrupting their tranquility.
