The Polar Bear

Artist Statement

I became interested in painting wildlife recently. I was inspired by artist David Shepherd who raised funds to protect wildlife. As an artist, you asked yourself what can you do. Art is my strength. I could not do a lot of things but I can speak through art. The visual language is something I have worked hard to master. The visual language can move people and spark conversation. This case, the number one issue which is climate change.

The drip technic I purposely use to create the melting image. I chose the colors that are safe for my health.

I used royalty free images to create this work. I have to be scientifically accurate to do this. I have to admit the polar bear was taken from an animal in captivity. It is difficult to get images from these animals in the wild. It would be great if I could.

I am always fascinated with polar bears ever since I was young. Capturing the animals in painting is important as a way to document and preserve their memory. Hopefully, we will still be able to have these creatures in the wild.
