]]> 31-year-old Canadian self-taught acrylic painter Nick Sider loves tigers, and he has been obsessed with them since he was a little kid. He has always dreamed about becoming an artist, however, it happened only a couple years ago when he quit his job to pursue painting full-time. He loves to say that he “creates life on canvas.”

“My favorite moment while painting is when a subject on my canvas begins to come alive,” he shared to My Modern Met.

Sider is now living and working in New York City and has gained international recognition for his paintings of wild cats, which art pieces you can easily confuse as real-life photographs. Besides animals, the artist paints portraits of other subjects, as well. In 2016 he had his first NYC solo show and has been featured in media worldwide. You can find his work in private galleries all around the world.

Scroll down and check out his work. You’ll see that he has over 156,000 followers for a reason!

The 1st of my Tiger Painting series posted 2 years ago today – “Scarlet Gaze” / 2017. A lot of people ask me “why tigers?” The short answer: I like to paint tigers. The long answer: they’re very nostalgic for me. As a kid my favorite painting was a tiger portrait by the artist Carl Brenders. Naturally, the first painting I ever did was of a tiger. I love the idea that I am now creating artwork that my kid-self would be immediately drawn to, sort of bringing my childhood dream of being a painter full circle. Either that or I am subconsciously dealing with my cat allergies 🐅🎨 #tiger #painting #hyperrealism #acrylic #canvas #artist #artsy #arts_help #artcollector #instaart #sunday #nicksider @instagram
