About this artwork
—On his work, Guerra tends to be influenced by his love for nature, for tales and myths, and fantasy related aspects of life. He draws inspiration from the nature around him, especially in forest-covered Finland. His works reflect this passion for natural things, incorporating aspects of a rustic, natural life, with vibrant dramatic colors portraying the beauty of the natural world.
The series of which this painting is a part of represents a search… for deeper connections, with ourselves, our past, both personally and collectively, and with the world around us, the natural world we came from. In Nature, a sense of belonging can be found, a sense of reality, of harmony, away from the foray of our societal lives.
The work portrays a Hiker, a wanderer, representing us, as Humans, as people, wandering and searching, in the moment of an encounter with something unexpected. Here, an animal, a Moose, which beyond the surprise, may be an obstacle, or not. What happens next?
