Sterk employs a collage technique that brings together two distinct worlds: the physical texture of an acrylic moon and the intricate, digital rendering of a dragonfly. The moon provides a rich, atmospheric foundation, its painted surface offering a sense of weight and presence that grounds the ethereal subject. Against this celestial backdrop, the dragonfly appears as a detailed specimen of light, its wings capturing a sense of movement and fragile grace.

The portrait orientation focuses the viewer’s attention on the vertical relationship between the insect and the orb, emphasizing an enigmatic beauty. By merging these mediums, the artist avoids a purely clinical feel, instead opting for a composition that feels human-crafted and deeply connected to the wonder of the outdoors. It is a focused exploration of how different artistic methods can harmonize to depict a single, magical moment.
