Mixed media (acrylic, texture paste, epoxy resin, and gold leaf) on artboard Size 100x70
What if the pheasant on the magnolia branches symbolizes the harmony of nature and elegance in the most unexpected combinations? This bright and majestic bird, surrounded by magnolia flowers, reminds us of the beauty in combining strength and tenderness, bringing an atmosphere of gentleness and sophistication to any space.
The painting is created on an artboard using textured paste: delicate magnolia branches are covered in silver, as are the outlines of each petal. Each flower is coated with epoxy resin, creating an effect reminiscent of a mosaic on a stained-glass window. Under bright light, the painting comes to life, evoking an early Irish spring with rain.
The pheasant itself is painted with acrylics and adorned with gold leaf: each feather is meticulously hand-textured, giving the bird incredible detail and depth.
