Original artwork description:

In oil painting, the guinea fowl often appears as a living jewel of the natural world, its plumage speckled with delicate white dots like a night sky scattered with stars. Elina was drawn to its quiet elegance and striking pattern, which brings both rhythm and texture to the canvas.

Symbolically, the guinea fowl carries rich layers of meaning. In many traditions, it represents protection, community, and watchfulness, as these birds live in close flocks and sound an alarm at the first sign of danger. At the same time, their starry feathers evoke a sense of mystery and cosmic connection, linking earth to sky. In art, the guinea fowl becomes a symbol of harmony, guardianship, and the subtle beauty hidden in everyday life.

The artwork continues seamlessly onto the edges, allowing it to be displayed elegantly with or without a frame.
