About the Item

Artist Comments
A large white polar bear lies on a cliff with its eyes closed, while a dodo bird leans beside it. To their side, an easel holds a Rembrandt painting of a stormy ocean with a ship tossed in rough waves. Water spills from the canvas, dripping into the scene and merging art with reality.


About the Artist
Artist Eric Vanasse creates compositions that honor the resilience and spirit of nature. "I am driven to explore ideas and emotions connected to the environment and its living beings, especially those most vulnerable," says Eric. He hopes his paintings will reveal themselves over time, inviting reflection on our world and its wildlife. Eric paints in a corner of his own intimate gallery, where he also teaches classes and listens to eclectic music. When he’s not making art, he enjoys playing piano, learning languages, and walking in nature.
