Description
Capercaillie Lek – Canvas Collection is part of our Timeless Masterpieces concept, presenting Bruno Liljefors’ nature painting in a contemporary, architectural format. The artwork depicts the capercaillie mating display deep within the Nordic forest – a quiet yet charged moment where ritual, hierarchy and the rhythm of nature take centre stage. The dense, shadowed woodland enhances the sense of presence and focus.
Liljefors was a master of portraying animal behaviour with authenticity and restraint. In Capercaillie Lek, movement and stillness coexist in a balanced composition, where the birds’ posture and placement convey the narrative. The subdued colour palette and filtered light create a timeless, deeply natural expression rooted in the Nordic landscape.
As a canvas piece, Capercaillie Lek brings a calm, profound and nature-inspired presence to the room. It is particularly well suited to mountain cabins, hunting lodges and interiors where tradition, nature and Nordic identity are valued.
