Absorbing Nature

Embracing Nature

Ink, watercolor

7" x 10"

I wanted to express the relationship between humans and birds through a woman embracing her surroundings in a silhouette. This highlights the birds and the connection to nature. The balance between the colors shows a strong relationship with the birds.

The work was made by using watercolor in the background and a silhouette of a woman in the foreground, with birds on her arms representing birds sitting on a telephone wire. I started by drawing the silhouette, then painting the background and birds.

I choose to forget realism and show a more abstract work, which shows the balance between a silhouette and the birds colors.
