Suspended between flight and force, this painting explores the intimate dialogue between bird and air. The owl does not simply move through atmosphere, it shapes it, riding turbulence as if in conversation with an invisible current. Sweeping lines and bursts of color suggest air as a living element, carrying energy, resistance, and lift. In this charged moment of motion, bird and wind become collaborators, each defining the other in a fierce, fluid choreography. 48 x 36 in. Encaustic, fresco, watercolor, pencil, ink on cradled wood panel. Sold.
