Hikers in Grindelwald by Clara Bernardi 2024
Acrylic on canvas with gold leaf
In this work, Clara Bernardi combines a classic motif with a modern interpretation. "Wanderer in Grindelwald" takes up the timeless figure of the wanderer, often a symbol of exploration and inner contemplation in art history, and brings it to the canvas in a new, powerful light. By combining acrylic paint and gold leaf, Bernardi creates a captivating reinterpretation of the familiar subject that is both traditional and contemporary at the same time.
The hiker moving through the breathtaking mountain world of Grindelwald is more than just a figure in the landscape - he stands for modern man in search of meaning, orientation and inner balance. By repainting this old motif, Bernardi gives it a freshness that captures both the classical romanticism of the motif and the challenges of the present.
The gold leaf plays a central role: it not only emphasizes the spiritual dimension of the wanderer, but also symbolizes the timeless, the constant in an ever-changing world. The layers of acrylic on the canvas create depth and texture, making the landscape appear vivid and tangible, while the golden accents provide an almost supernatural source of light.
This work by Clara Bernardi is a harmonious combination of tradition and modernity, inviting the viewer to see the old in a new light and rediscover their own inner journey.
