With the medium of traditional oil paint, this charming piece by Chaval is exceptionally detailed and thought-provoking. Following a realist approach, yet depicting some playful imperfections, gives this piece a spiritual character, revealing itself through the use of color and forms that emerge during the creative process. Finding inspiration in what uniquely captures the artist's attention, as if it were an expression from beyond this realm, Chaval aims to express an atmosphere that first takes shape in his mind before materializing into the artwork. In this painting, we find a realist portrait of a bear with icicles, presented in a particular style that is very connected by his marked sense of humor, irreverent and frivolous. He hand carves this irregular board with artisanal passion and patience and then with oil paint to enhance the effect of being framed. This piece is signed by the artist on verso and it comes with hanging wire on the back ready to be displayed.
