Clara Bernardi - "Ladybirds at work" (2024)

Acrylic on canvas with silver leaf

The artwork "Ladybird at work" by Clara Bernardi shows a ladybug going about its business in the middle of a lush green landscape. With fine brushstrokes, the artist captures the details of the insect as it crawls over a leaf, apparently in search of food.

The green coloring of nature symbolizes the growth and abundance of life, while the use of silver leaf captures the light and gives the image a special depth. The contrasts between the natural, earthy tones and the silver accents create a vibrant interplay of textures and light reflections.

"Ladybird at Work" is a detailed yet simple painting that shows the beauty of everyday nature. The ladybug, small and inconspicuous, becomes the protagonist here and symbolizes the tireless, quiet work in nature. The silver leaf emphasizes the delicate structure of the leaves and gives the work an elegant sheen.

Clara Bernardi expresses her connection to nature and her surroundings in this painting. The acrylic on canvas in combination with silver leaf creates a special feel and gives the picture a harmonious balance between naturalness and modern interpretation.

Without great symbolism, but with a fine sensitivity for details, Bernardi places the seemingly unspectacular moments of nature in the foreground. "Ladybirds at work" is a quiet plea for us to pay attention to the small and important things in our everyday lives - the work of nature that often remains hidden from us.
