master bird paintings wallsculpture
I am combining my love for the work of the master painters with my fascination for birds.
First of all there was the passion for birds in nature. As a youngster I became fascinated by the work of the painters and the way they saw the birds and reflected to them. In these works I reflect to the work of the masters and implement my knowing of aspects as behaviour and attitude of birds.
It became a series: master bird paintings.
