Original artwork description:

This piece from the Souls of the Forest series presents an intricate scene of a solitary bear standing at the edge of a birch forest. The stark verticality of the birch trees, drawn in fine black ink with varied textural cross-hatching, creates a dramatic backdrop. The trees are stylized with expressive linework, evoking both structure and wildness. In contrast, the bear, rendered in warm tones of orange, brown, and ochre with delicate strokes, exudes a gentle yet grounded presence. It stands on a bed of leaf-like textures that suggest forest floor foliage, emphasizing the harmony between animal and environment. The artwork balances realism with abstraction, using minimal color to powerful effect.
