About the artwork

In the silent expanses of northern Sweden, where birch and pine trees line the frosty ground and snow shrouds the landscape in silence, a mighty moose moves with measured steps through the undergrowth. This picture shows it in a rare moment of peace and naturalness - feeding. Europe's largest land-dwelling wild animal searches for food among the bare branches. The moment is calm and yet deeply impressive: an animal of such size and presence living in harmony with its surroundings.

The elk, scientifically known as Alces alces, epitomises the Nordic wilderness like almost no other animal. With a shoulder height of up to two metres and a weight of up to 700 kilograms, it is a giant of the forests - powerful, vigilant and shy at the same time. In Sweden, the moose is not only encountered in nature, but also in everyday life: as a symbolic figure on road signs, souvenirs and in stories. Especially in winter, it is forced to feed on meagre food - twigs, bark and buds. This is what makes this quiet moment so special: it shows the animal in its natural routine.

This shot lives from the authenticity of the moment, from the animal's natural behaviour and quiet dignity. The reduced colour palette of winter, the soft light and the calm composition draw the eye to the essentials.

This motif is ideal as a wall mural in landscape format - for living rooms, surgeries, forestry offices or hunting lodges. It radiates tranquillity, respect and original power.
