Stranded - Original Artwork

Stranded

Original Pastel Artwork – Mounted, Unframed

A Quiet Reflection on Loss and Resilience

Stranded portrays a solitary polar bear resting on the remains of a stranded ship, gazing out over waters that were once frozen solid. Created in soft pastels, this piece is both a tribute to the stark beauty of the Arctic and a gentle reminder of the fragility of our planet.

Inspired by a reference photo from photographer Karen Broemmelsick, the artwork reflects the polar bear’s isolation and quiet strength — a symbol of both loss and resilience. It invites you to pause, reflect, and consider the delicate balance of nature that we all share responsibility for.

Rendered on Pastelmat paper with soft textures and subtle layers of colour, Stranded combines fine detail with emotional depth, capturing not only the bear’s form but the atmosphere of its world.
