This decorative wall sculpture represents magnificence, wisdom and a flow of life. Lion as the king of all animals was chosen as main symbol. Peaceful design with overall softness was kept in mind for this piece. The curved shaped fur of the lion was a clear choice. It is easy to follow, yet it evokes a kind of an ethereal feeling. A lot time went into designing the transition from the lion to the surrounding environment, the smoothness of it is quite important, because it determines how the piece works together with its background.

Jaroslav Kocourek is a self-taught designer and illustrator (born 1991, Czech Republic). Since early childhood he has been passionate about art. As a 6 year old kid, he created impressive animal sculptures from clay. At the age of 14 he had for the first time access to a computer and discovered the world of computer graphics. Ever since he developed his skills mostly as a 3d modeller and designer. After graduating from the Gymnasium, he attended few universities in the Czech Republic, but only for a very short time. He soon lost interest and found the education system limiting and extremely time consuming. He has begun to build his portfolio and focused on creativity, rather than on theoretical studies. After creating his first online portfolio in 2011, it didn't take long and a few companies offered him a job. Since 2014 he has been working as an officially self employed designer. With further advances in 3D printing industries, he started creating his own 3d printable art and now continues to experiment in this field.
