On about my third trip to Africa, I witnessed a lioness catch and kill a young zebra, not more than 30 yards from my vehicle. This was one of my first experiences of the raw power of the natural world and actually left me shaking with adrenalin.

I have since sent many happy hours studying lion at Borana, with the Lewa lion monitoring team in Northern Kenya.

With my 2023 lion sculptures, I set out to have a lioness in the process of stalking a warthog, and then the final chase. I wanted to capture the intent and muscular bulk of these big cats, in a pose with shoulders and hips opposing each other.

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.

Making Lion Sculptures at Lewa

In February this year, I returned to what feels like my second home, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Northern Kenya. It is here that my sculpting began in 1996, so it is a very special place for me. Lewa's founders, the conservationists Ian and Jane Craig, are great friends and have been enormously supportive of my work over the years.

Research Trip to Rome

A couple of weeks ago, I visited Rome with my family. Because of my work, I spend long periods of time isolated in my studio, so it was really great to get out and enjoy all the art and architecture this amazing city has to offer.
