Bern Foster's Lifeguard tower II is a handmade painting on Canson paper which vividly captures the serene beauty of a coastal scene, dominated by a bright blue lifeguard tower perched firmly on a sandy beach. The tower, marked with the number "9," stands as a solitary sentinel against an azure sky that is mirrored by the tranquil ocean waves lapping the shore.
The vibrant hues of blue and the crisp, clean lines of the tower and its surroundings imbue the piece with a sense of calm and clarity. In the background, the ocean is punctuated by the simple elegance of two white sailboats gliding gracefully across the water, evoking a sense of freedom and adventure. The artist has masterfully rendered the large, billowing cloud that occupies the upper left quadrant of the canvas, its soft, fluffy texture contrasting beautifully with the sharp, angular form of the lifeguard tower.
The composition's balanced symmetry and the flawless blending of colors highlight the artist's keen eye for detail and profound ability to evoke a mood of peaceful solitude. The artwork invites the viewer to pause and immerse themselves in the serene coastal atmosphere, feeling the gentle caress of the sea breeze and the warm embrace of the sunlit sand. This piece stands out for its minimalist yet profoundly impactful depiction of a quintessential beach scene, capturing the essence of coastal tranquility with striking precision.

A propos de 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.
