Bird 19

A stylised bird built from layered geometric shapes, set against a soft neutral ground. Deep green forms the outer silhouette, framing warmer inner tones of blush, orange and red that draw the eye inward.

The simplified form and clean edges give the work a calm, graphic presence, while the nested shapes create a gentle sense of depth.

Finished in a light pine frame, it suits modern and mid-century inspired interiors.
