"Sunrise Hope II"

Crazy weeks these ones for me, with a new flat to find, and my daughter home once again.


Not being able to paint for now.


So I thought of sharing an old painting.


I don’t think I have share this one before.


Oil and gold leaf on canvas, cm 40x50, 2019 (SOLD)



This is the second painting on the theme of “Hope”. It is a representation of a beginning, with two little bluebirds about to fly into in the wind and the gold of a new sunrise. In traditional Iroquois cosmology, the call of the bluebird is believed to ward off the icy power of Sawiskera, the spirit of the winter. Its call caused Sawiskera to flee in fear and the ice to recede.


These birds fascinated me ( I pained them several times), for their weightless figures and their bright colours, with the union of deep blue and red-brown, cold and warm colours, winter and spring.


Hope you like it 🤗


Have a lovely weekend everyone ❤️
