“Creating this piece, I wanted to capture the essence of a Blue-and-yellow Macaw's feather with its striking colors. I layered vibrant blues and sunny yellows to reflect the bird's lively spirit, allowing the colors to bleed into each other naturally. My brushstrokes are gentle and fluid, mimicking the grace of feathers, while subtle splatters and drips add an unexpected touch of life and spontaneity. Through this painting, I was inspired to explore new perspectives and understandings, inviting others to see beauty and inspiration in the world around us.”
