Bears have been my favourite animal since childhood and appear often in my work as the embodiment of the raw strength and contrasting tranquility of nature. One of my favourite things about painting is the possibility to combine my imagination with the accuracy of realism, while highlighting the beauty of nature in a novel perspective. This piece is inspired by the story of the old man and the sea. Honestly I've never read the story, but I always had that image of an old man sitting on a rock, staring at the ocean, as if he's waiting for someone to return in my mind.
