Ever since observing recently orphaned cheetah cubs Toki and Sambu on one of my first visits to Lewa Wildlife conservancy in Kenya, cheetah have been a favourite subject of mine. I sculpted my first head in 1997 out of African beeswax.

With my 2023 studies of lion, leopard and cheetah heads I have sculpted each to the same scale. When seen as a trio or a pair, you can really get an idea of the size differences between them. I wanted people to be able to see the individual species evolution and how they have honed skill sets to become the very different predators they are.

    Big Cats Sculptures by Hamish Mackie

    From the Paleolithic people to the ancient Greeks, from the pre-Raphelites to contemporary times, artists throughout history have depicted Big Cats. The largest members of the feline family have inspired Rubens, Bugatti, Delacroix, Puget, Stubbs, Scott, Ernst and Klimt. It is not hard to see why. The sheer power and strength of these animals is remarkable, and artists have celebrated them in paintings, etchings, ceramics and sculpture.
