Description
Flamingo at the Water’s Edge
Mixed media on paper
42 × 29 cm
This expressive mixed media painting depicts a flamingo standing in shallow water, rendered with bold outlines and richly layered textures. Earthy browns, creams, and soft golds shape the bird’s form, while a vivid pink sky creates a striking, emotive backdrop. Loose, gestural marks and visible brushstrokes give the work a raw, tactile quality, emphasizing movement and character over naturalistic detail.
Surrounding foliage is suggested rather than defined, with abstracted greens and grays framing the central figure and drawing attention to its curved neck and contemplative posture. The contrast between the calm blue water and the energetic background adds a quiet tension, evoking a sense of stillness within an expressive, almost dreamlike environment. The piece balances figurative clarity with painterly abstraction, celebrating spontaneity, texture, and mood.
