  • Flying Birds Always Aroused My Admiration, Which Is Why I Want To Illustrate Them

    Flying Birds Always Aroused My Admiration, Which Is Why I Want To Illustrate Them

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Each bird flies differently. Eagles majestically soar, the flight of a Hoopoe is like a butterfly flight, it looks like it’s swimming in the air. The flight of the hummingbird is like a small helicopter, hovers in the air and even flies in the reverse direction.

    Birds is an infinite treasure of inspiration for me, that’s why, for a few years, I can not stop painting them and admire them. Binoculars, a brush, beautiful weather and a bird that I can observe and paint, for me, is full of happiness.

    You can also see my previous watercolor birds here and here.

  • I Use Eye Surgery Scissors And Scalpels To Carve Feathers Into Intricate Art (New Pics)

    I Use Eye Surgery Scissors And Scalpels To Carve Feathers Into Intricate Art (New Pics)

    Reading Time: 6 minutes

    This art is made of real feathers. Each piece is backed to make it sturdy but what you see is the actual feather, unchanged, uncolored. To retain the natural curves of the feathers, they are set apart from the white backgrounds using stainless pins. This creates shadows depending on the direction and quality of light that shines on it.

    I am often asked if I use lasers to cut my feathers. I don’t because I prefer the intimacy of making each cut with tiny surgical scalpels and scissors.

    Birds shed their feathers about every year and grow new ones. Using shed feathers in my art means that often the bird that shed them is still alive. Life is harsh, we all die and we have to kill things in order to eat, to live. Feathers represent a bit of gentleness amidst the suffering. I feel that one way to cope with the harshness of life is to add a little humor which you can see in a few of my pieces.

    Feathers also represent flight, something we can do with our bodies only in our dreams. So they become important symbols of hope and transformation. I also work on commissions and the prices start at $1200. I am grateful that my art has found a soft spot in people’s hearts around the world.
