Oil, acrylic, 24ct Manetti Superior Gold Leaf on birchwood - framed in a white-grained wood. 
24x24"
 
The artwork was shown at my solo show IN FLIGHT, at The Hyde Gallery, Chiswick London and The Other Art Fair in London, March 2024 - presented by Saatchi Art. 
 
The Birds of Pipa 1 is a painting that captures the essence of the Brazilian coast. Part of the Brazil collection, this artwork is a testament to my passion for this beautiful country. The painting showcases a single hummingbird that injects a burst of color, set against a backdrop of acrylic wash & vibrant botanical work on birchwood. Showing the delicate grains in the birchwood in contrast with the vibrant oils of which the hummingbird is painted. 
 
A vibrant, nature-inspired work. The birchwood panel is set on a 24ct gold-leafed wood panel. Creating not only a painting but a sculptured piece of art.
