Capricorn in a fighting pose

Acrylic and silver leaf on 10 cm thick 3D canvas, 2024
Painted by Clara Bernardi in Switzerland, Grindelwald

This powerful work of art shows a majestic ibex in a combative pose, enhanced by the use of silver leaf, which allows the Swiss Alps and the surrounding area to almost fade into the background, but still shine. Clara Bernardi captures the raw energy and strength of the animal in impressive detail. The three-dimensional canvas lends the painting a special depth, making the ibex appear almost alive and seem to step out of the picture. The dynamic brushstrokes and intense acrylic colors in combination with the shimmering silver leaf emphasize the vitality of nature and the majesty of the Alps, which are omnipresent in Grindelwald, the artist's home. A unique work that symbolizes strength, resilience and the fighting spirit of nature.
