"Polar
bear and maple tree" presents a striking encounter between animal presence
and natural symbolism. The polar bear, a powerful and solitary figure,
contrasts with the maple tree,
evoking both seasonal
change and fragile
ecosystems. Through this juxtaposition, the painting suggests
themes of displacement, climate tension, and poetic contemplation. The large
format allows the subject to occupy
the viewer's field of vision, reinforcing the emotional impact of the scene
while highlighting the artist's careful treatment of texture, light, and
composition.
