Ethereal
The Ethereal series marks a distinct shift in Clara Berta's palette — away from white grounds and into the depths of dark skies and cosmic space. Works like Wings of Desire, Dream of Water, View From Above, and Divine are painted on deep backgrounds in blues, golds, and indigos that seem to glow from within. The effect is unmistakably celestial: organic forms burst and radiate like stars, nebulae, and the patterns found deep in nature. For collectors and interior designers seeking art that transforms a room into something more atmospheric and mysterious, the Ethereal series offers a stillness that is felt as much as seen. These paintings are particularly well suited to bedroom suites, spa environments, and executive spaces where depth and contemplation are valued.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Ethereal series different from Clara Berta’s other work?
The Ethereal series uses deep dark backgrounds — blacks, dark blues, and indigos — rather than the white grounds found in Clara’s other series created in her Laguna Beach studio. This creates a luminous, celestial quality where gold and blue forms appear to radiate light from within, giving the works an atmospheric, almost cosmic presence.
What are the themes behind the Ethereal series?
The series explores transcendence, stillness, and the healing power of looking inward. Works like Dream of Water and Cosmic draw on Clara’s connection to water, light, and the natural world, translated into forms that feel both ancient and otherworldly.
Are Ethereal paintings suitable for wellness or spa environments?
Yes. The deep calming palette and luminous quality of these works make them particularly effective in spa corridors, meditation rooms, bedroom suites, and wellness centers. The dark backgrounds create a sense of enclosure and safety that supports rest and recovery.
Can I commission a custom painting in the Ethereal style?
Absolutely. Clara accepts commissions for custom Ethereal-style paintings tailored to your specific dimensions, palette, and space. Contact the studio to begin the conversation.
