Two But Not Apart

2021 | Acrylic, Stretched on Wood Frame

Since ancient times and in many cultures, birds have been thought to be messengers of the gods. Encounters with specific birds in specific situations could be interpreted as an omen or sign of what the future held. This artwork is inspired by the human fascination of these beautiful flying creatures. Beyond the meaning of birds ascribed to the animals in different traditions, the birds' colours also have meaning. Black colours suggest confidence; white defines peace and freedom; yellow indicates hope of life; red relays power; etc.
