Original artwork description:

This Buffy Fish Owl portrait by Irina Maier showcases her signature technique of combining detail with a luminous gold background. The owl’s intense gaze, rendered in earthy browns and deep blacks, draws the viewer in, conveying a sense of wisdom and mystery. Set against a golden, gilded background, the owl stands out as a powerful symbol of insight and strength.

Irina’s art is deeply inspired by her time in Brunei, where the exotic wildlife became central to her creative expression. Her work often explores themes of freedom, lightness, and the beauty of nature, using carefully layered gold metal leaf to add depth and radiance to each piece. Based in Germany, Irina Maier invites viewers to find calm and reflection in her artworks, each crafted with a sense of harmony and inner peace.
