Polar bear artwork

An attention-commanding polar bear artwork rendered digitally by wildlife artist Talia Giles. This portrait is one of a growing collection entitled Animals V. Humans created by the artist, amongst whom the African lion and the Snow Leopard are both available through us at Designs By Origin. The collection highlights the plight of these endangered species, whose futures lie in the hands of humankind.

The Lowdown

Talia starts with a series of photographs of each animal which she then combines and manipulates to create the perfect portrait pose, almost humanlike. Next, she digitally draws a complex net of triangles that form the base of the geometric image. Smaller, denser collections of triangles are used where more detail is required. Once the net is complete, each and every triangle is coloured individually to add depth, light and shade. Finally, background colours are trialled to set the mood and allow the character to come alive. On close inspection, these digital artworks are breathtaking in their detail.

This limited edition polar bear artwork (1/10) is hand-finished in silver metal leaf and lacquered to prevent tarnishing. Each of these prints is unique, due to their being hand-finished.

Styling Ideas?

These artworks look equally striking in an industrial, urban loft setting as in a ‘modern-rustic, rural abode. Depending on your backdrop, you may want to choose a pale frame to in effect ‘disappear’. A modern, white frame against the mount and white/pale walls will, for example, allow the animal image to leap out from the wall. Alternatively, you may opt to outline the artwork with a strong line, for definition, or a boundary between the snow leopard and, say, a busy all-over wallpaper. If this is your preference, go for a slim, warm-hued wooden frame to enhance the artwork’s cool palette.
