About this artwork
A dragon's claw symbolizes the artist's exploration of human fears in this unique work. "Caught in Fear" depicts a human figure encased in a claw, metaphorically held captive by fear. The skull represents loss, and a war scene is visible beneath the claws on the left side. In this piece, I combine the two-dimensionality of a canvas painting with a sculptural, relief-like representation. The deeply emotional and profound message—the inescapable confrontation…
with our mortality—provokes reflection on existential themes. This unconventional vanitas painting can be displayed as a wall object or as a table sculpture on an easel.

Daniela E. Hellerforth studied design and interior architecture. She realizes her art through drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Her main subjects are sculptural works and "three-dimensional paintings." Her works often have a metallic appearance—a characteristic stylistic device of her REALUSION® brand. They are often melancholic, dark, and occasionally dystopian, reflecting fantasy and mythical worlds and sometimes delving deeply into the world of human fears. Despite all their darkness, her works appeal through their unique aesthetic. The artist is dedicated to nature and environmental protection. Her goal is to trigger emotions and inspire reflection.
She has been participating in exhibitions since 2015 and is represented at art fairs and in collections.
"In my opinion, art has fulfilled its purpose when it reaches people, whether visually or acoustically, and triggers emotions – of whatever kind." (DΞH, 2015)
