I painted this in an unusual style, where realism and artistic imagination combine. Having seen this bird one day, I had dream of painting it. Flamingo is a symbol of balance. I wanted to take that message and expand it even further, leaving the observer wondering of what lies beyond the usual harmony. I chose to paint it with both cold and warm hues, to highlight this balance visually in the observer's mind. When you look at the painting, your view glides throughout the canvas, from spot to spot, absorbing the essence of this balance. The boundary-less abstract style leaves your eyes and interpretation open and wandering, sparking new emotions every time you look at it. Thus, inspiring to look beyond the usual and ordinary and find the balance between the imagined and real worlds. The artwork is made with oil paint, the edges are painted and the painting can be hung without a frame. The strokes done with a palette knife give volume and expression to the painted lines. The painting is varnished, that protects it from sun light, smoke and humidity.
