Cockatoo and tulips (2024) Original Oil Painting by Federico Cortese

The painting blends elements of surrealism and modern still life. At the center of the scene stands a regal white cockatoo, its crest dramatically fanned out in hues of soft white and maroon. To the left, a vase brimming with bold tulips adds a dramatic vertical balance to the composition. A single tulip lies on the patterned floor, as if knocked over by the bird, infusing the image with a sense of narrative and spontaneity. The background reveals a window with stylized panes, framing an abstract view of rooftops. This detail adds an architectural counterpoint to the natural forms within the room.
