Concrete Jungle Fire Finch.

2023 | Acrylic and Marker on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

This vibrant piece depicts a neighborhood fire finch nestled within a richly patterned backdrop. The layered geometric and botanical motifs evoke the complexity of urban environments, symbolizing the spaces where nature and city life collide.

Through this work, the artist pays tribute to the resilience of wildlife—specifically the adaptability of birds like the fire finch—who continue to thrive amidst the textures and challenges of human-altered landscapes. It is both a celebration and a quiet reflection on nature’s persistence.
