Impermanence
A frozen shoreline, a fleeting canvas, and a portrait of time itself. “Impermanence” is a striking work created on the fragile ice of the Baltic Sea during a rare moment of stillness. This piece is part of my Remnants of the Past series, inspired by the fragments of ancient Greek sculptures that echo the beauty of a bygone era. Here, a female figure emerges, fractured yet serene, embodying the delicate balance between presence and transience.
The icy surface beneath the artwork had already begun to melt and shift, creating a fleeting backdrop for this portrait. What made this piece unique was its proximity to the shoreline, where shallow waters and sand mirrored the illusion of vast, Arctic depths. As I worked, a snowstorm loomed, urging me to capture the piece in its entirety before nature reclaimed it.
“Impermanence” reminds us of life’s ephemeral beauty—the way even the strongest forms eventually yield to time. It speaks to the fragility of existence and the enduring power of art to hold space for reflection.
This piece has been meticulously reproduced as a fine art print to preserve the textures, contrasts, and emotional depth of the original. It invites the viewer to embrace the fleeting and cherish the eternal.

The man of the Mountain is such a beautiful Motiv, reminds me of my life, when you must enjoy every moment in a current time and don’t (over)think about the future!
That beautiful and inspiring artwort
of David Popa, printed in a really good quality, on a very high grade paper, and framed simple and puristic - the perfect combination for me and an eye-catcher in every Rom.
We just love it. Thank you!!!
Update: David Popa emailed me after my review and went to the trouble of sending me a new version of 'Emergence' (which was better protected) by using a different print fulfilment company. The product is much higher quality as a result - excellent customer responsiveness. If the product had also been mounted, I'd have no hesitation in awarding 5 stars.
The product doesn't live up to the video or amazing talent and process that created the image. It feels cheap - the frame has the weight of balsa wood and there's no mount board - just a white border.
Hey Andrew- We actually totally agree and have stopped using the print company that sent over your print. We have just recently changed our print fulfillment company to the highest end company that we have been using with our limited edition prints. We will send over a new print to you and are sure you will love the quality.
Best,
Popa Arts Team
