This impressive limited-edition giclée print faithfully reproduces the original acrylic painting "Siku's Plunge" in the same commanding scale as the gallery canvas original—48.5" wide by 43.25" high—printed on high-quality, gallery-grade canvas for exceptional depth, color vibrancy, and fine detail.
The artwork captures the awe-inspiring moment of Siku, the powerful male polar bear from the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, mid-plunge into crystalline Arctic waters. His massive, streamlined body cuts through swirling turquoise and deep sapphire waves, powerful paws extended, dark eyes alert, and thick white fur glistening with water droplets. Bubbles rise around him as light filters through the icy surface above, creating luminous highlights and ethereal glows that emphasize his strength and grace as one of the planet’s most formidable swimmers.
The composition draws directly from real observations and photographs of Siku at the Calgary Zoo, portraying his resilient spirit—orphaned young in the wild and now thriving under conservation care—while evoking the frozen beauty of the Arctic habitat. This large-format print preserves every nuance of the original’s dramatic blues, crisp whites, and dynamic motion, delivering an immersive wildlife experience without additional embellishments.
Signed by the artist (NYX '25), each limited-edition gallery print is a celebration of polar bear majesty and a quiet call to conservation awareness—polar bears remain Vulnerable due to climate change and shrinking sea ice. Perfect for collectors of large-scale nature art, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a bold, breathtaking statement piece that brings the raw power of the Arctic indoors.
