Elkind

Original Art by Carolina Lebar

The elk captivates me with its commanding presence and sweeping antlers—an enduring symbol of strength, resilience, and quiet bravery. I am inspired by how its annual shedding and regrowth of antlers reflect cycles of renewal and transformation.

To me, the elk stands for balance. It moves gracefully within the herd, yet maintains an independent, regal spirit.

In this piece, the circle represents the elk’s ongoing cycle of shedding and renewal, while white dahlias represent purity and new beginnings.

Each work begins with an intricately rendered pencil drawing on a wood panel, in this case it’s 14″ x 11″, laying the foundation for the composition. I then introduce color through a refined glazing technique, allowing layers to build depth. This piece is signed on the side and comes without a frame.

About the Artist

Carolina Lebar

Originally from Colombia, Carolina resides in the United States. The pieces she creates explore humanities connections to nature that are echoed throughout history within beliefs and lore. “My work begins with pencil, creating fine, beautiful details, then with delicate layers of graphite and occasionally paint, I finalize the art. Using pencil and paint I explore tying the past and the present with gatherings of feather, fur, fins, symbolism, and feminine beauty.”
