"TAK" – Art That Inspires Action
"TAK" is a painting that it is a symbol of conservation. Originally presented to the Queen of Bhutan, this artwork captures the tiger’s strength and majesty. Banovich’s use of a sepia palette imbues the piece with a timeless quality, emphasizing the animal’s dignity and the urgent need for balance in our relationship with nature.
The reach of "TAK" extends far beyond its visual impact. A portion of the proceeds from each limited-edition giclée sold supports the Tiger Conservation Coalition, a global initiative dedicated to restoring tiger populations and safeguarding their habitats. The Coalition has set a bold goal of raising $1 billion by 2030 to fund critical conservation projects across Asia. By supporting these efforts, "TAK" is not just preserving a species—it’s protecting entire ecosystems that benefit millions of people.

The Majestic Tiger in Peril
Tigers are vital to the health of ecosystems, maintaining balance as top predators. Yet their numbers are shrinking at an alarming rate, with only about 3,900 remaining in the wild. Habitat loss has reduced their range to just 8% of its original size, putting these iconic animals on the brink of extinction.
Losing tigers would disrupt ecosystems and harm communities that depend on these habitats for resources, water, and climate stability. Through projects like "TAK," John Banovich combines art and advocacy to raise awareness and support efforts to save tigers and their habitats.
