Corvette is a handmade painting on illustration board by Bern Foster presents an arresting depiction of an automotive scene, with the meticulous precision of photorealism.
A beautifully rendered segment of a sleek, metallic blue sports car occupies the right half of the canvas, showcasing its impeccable contours and reflective surface with striking detail. The wheel, radiant in its chrome finish, catches the light brilliantly, underscoring the artist's technical skill. The scene is set against a breathtaking backdrop of a clear blue sky punctuated by a few wispy clouds, which mirror the serene calmness of a distant, deep blue ocean horizon.
This juxtaposition of mechanical elegance against natural tranquility creates a captivating contrast, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of human ingenuity and the serene environment.
Intriguingly, the absence of any visible driver or passengers lends an air of mystery, inviting the viewer to ponder the potential journey or narrative behind this still moment.
The guardrail running parallel to the length of the vehicle subtly suggests movement and progress, while anchoring the composition firmly in a recognizable, real-world setting.
The artist’s adept use of color gradients and shadowing brings a three-dimensional realism to the work, demonstrating a command of light and perspective that is both assertive and evocative.
This piece uniquely captures the essence of modernity and motion, poised effortlessly within a tranquil coastal scene, rendering it a profound study of contrasts and a testament to the beauty of engineered and natural forms alike.

About Bern Foster
Hailing from the beaches of the south of Spain, Bern Foster, is a multi-disciplinary international illustrator recognized for his retro and vibrant aesthetic.
His art immediately get you to nostalgia, using aesthetics as his greatest strength and the seductive allure of capitalism as a source of inspiration. Bern has always thought that it was his childhood memories, such as TV ads from late 80’s, movies, and music that inspired him to use his style and aesthetic.
“Sometimes, I am listening music which inspires me to think about my next illustration, or I am painting an illustration that makes me think about an specific song, it’s like if my art and music are connected to each other, like in a TV ad”, says Bern.
Despite being passionate about illustration, Bern started working as a Design engineer in 2012, and a year later he decided to finance his art with the money he earned as an engineer, until the hobby of illustrator became a real profession.
He never attended a single art class, as he learned with his own discipline, adopting techniques and influences from other illustrators such as Bob Peak, Masao Saito, Hajime Sorayama, Hiroshi Nagai, or Eizin Suzuki.
He made his first commissions between 2013 and 2015, for small private clients and independent fashion brands, also album covers and promotional content for social media. However, was Bern’s personal portfolio what attracted potential clients in the fashion and music industry, as he always painted for himself in his spare time when he wasn’t working for a client.
Was through his personal projects that he experimented with different techniques until he found his own style.
In 2019, Bern started working for the fashion industry, collaborating with exclusive brands such as Nude Project, Reina Olga Beachwear, or Filippa K. Selected clients: Nude Project, Warner Records, Reina Olga Beachwear, Eglaf, Dunne Brand, TWRP Band, Mayol Jewelry, Filippa K, Beast in Black, Tayrell Music, CRMEN fashion book Magazine, ASBS Magazine, Rebelión Galactica Magazine, Reflective Desire Studio, Avant Garde Records, Beast in Black Band, Northstar Studios, Davinci´s Dream.
