Daring by Dovile Bernotaite

Daring
Original artwork by Dovilė Bernotaitė

Acrylic, oil pastel and charcoal on canvas
180 × 110 cm

A striking exploration of movement, form and emotion, Daring invites the viewer to interpret its fluid silhouette—perhaps a bold body in motion, or a figure attempting to break free and take flight. Expressive layers of acrylic, oil pastel and charcoal create a rich sense of depth, balancing strength with vulnerability.

Created as a one-of-a-kind original, Daring can be displayed either horizontally or vertically, allowing the work to transform depending on its orientation and the space it inhabits. Its sculptural composition and restrained palette make it equally suited to contemporary, minimalist and richly layered interiors.

A rare and highly collectible work, Daring is an enduring statement piece that brings character, movement and quiet confidence to any interior. Designed to be lived with for decades, it is a timeless investment in original contemporary art.

Every piece available through Cleo Collects is carefully selected and represented as accurately as possible.

For original artworks, antiques and vintage pieces, variations, patina, wear and signs of age are part of the character and history of the piece and are not considered faults. We endeavour to clearly photograph and describe the condition of each item.

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect or materially different from its description, please contact us promptly and we will work with you to resolve the issue.

Our collection includes original artworks, handcrafted pieces, antiques, vintage furniture and contemporary design, and care requirements will vary between pieces and materials.

As a general guide, we recommend keeping artworks and delicate materials away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture. Furniture and objects should be cleaned gently using products appropriate to their material and finish.

Antique and vintage pieces may show natural signs of age, patina and previous use. These characteristics form part of their history and should be treated with care rather than considered imperfections.

We ship Australia-wide and internationally.
