Bear The Protector Painting

This is a truly unique icon that is part of the series of Icons of Animals. Basia is deeply grateful for the connection she has with nature and animals. She believes in learning from them and protecting them, rather than causing harm. Basia's ultimate goal is to bring humans and animals closer together and create a world of equality for all beings. This icon is painted in Wax Tempera on an MDF panel covered with traditional gesso. Basia often uses reclaimed materials in her work to reduce waste and protect the environment. This particular icon features the Polar Bear as a symbol of strength and grace, but also as a reminder of the devastating effects of climate change. Through her work, Basia hopes to inspire gratitude for the natural world and promote a more sustainable way of living.
