Original artwork description:

This piece was made as an ode to the Golden Age of Scientific Illustration that flourished in the 19th century. During this era, visionaries like John James Audubon crafted exquisite artworks, celebrating the avian diversity that graces our planet. In this homage, I endeavor to breathe life into garden birds, meticulously rendering their plumage with a profound dedication to detail and a commitment to capturing the naturalistic essence that defined Audubon's masterpieces.

Immersed in the allure of nature, I find solace and inspiration working en plein air, hidden away in the sanctuary of my garden. The very surroundings that inspired the scientific illustrators of the 19th century now breathe life into my brushstrokes. With each session, I strive to capture the essence of the garden birds as they flit and flutter amidst the foliage, embodying the poetry of the natural world.

The title, "Who Has Seen The Wind," is borrowed from the poetic verses of Christina Rossetti. Just as Rossetti's words evoke the intangible, my artwork seeks to capture the elusive beauty of the garden birds in their fleeting moments. The marriage of art and poetry invites viewers to ponder the delicate dance between the seen and the unseen, a theme that resonates through the ages.
