Friends for Life

from £1,000.00

This large painting depicts three birds: a pelican, a shoebill, and a woodpecker perched on the pelican's back. The shoebill stands at the front of the composition, looking directly at the viewer and becoming the painting's main focus. The woodpecker introduces an unexpected element, suggesting a relationship between three species that would not normally be seen together. By placing these birds in a shared space, the painting explores ideas of connection, coexistence, and observation. It invites viewers to consider how unfamiliar pairings can create new meanings and encourage closer looking.

Dimensions unframed: Height 119cm, Width 95cm
