In The Lion's Odyssey, Anne Cardin transposes the nobility of the king of the savannah into an unexpected universe: a harsh, almost mythological winter. Like a modern-day Ulysses, this lion braves the cold, draped in a red and gold checkered coat, wearing a green scarf like an adventurer who has traded his mane for a garment of resilience.
 The vivid, contrasting colors evoke both the character's inner warmth and the austerity of the environment. The lion's pale, frosty blue mane contrasts with the deep green of the background, amplifying the impression of a clash between worlds—that of the savannah and that of the North. His gaze is focused, determined, as if he were charting his course through an epic tale where every step on the snow is a victory.
 In this acrylic painting, Anne Cardin uses textile patterns—checks, weaves—to evoke protection, culture, and a form of identity reinvention. The atmosphere is both gentle and powerful, and the work embodies a metaphor for courage, adaptation, and navigating the seasons of life.
