The lion is the king of beasts and therefore he is a symbol of courage and bravery, strength, power and majesty. The fashion for decorating buildings, parks and squares with sculptures of these animals came from Europe during the reign of Peter I: in St. Petersburg lions appeared near palaces and public buildings, in parks and on embankments, some of them were lying or sitting, and many of them rested their paws on a ball. Statues of lions were placed at the entrances to temples and palaces, and many lion guards kept their paw on the ball to keep them awake. If the lion falls asleep, the paw rolls off the ball and he wakes up. At the same time, in the Buddhist religion the orb means a treasure, symbolizing knowledge that will help achieve goals and fulfill wishes. In the work "Lion Rider" a green-yellow fractal background is chosen, the work on the one hand radiates calmness and grandeur, and on the other hand magic and magic, the feeling of which is enhanced by the animation.
