40 x 60 x 2cm (unframed)
£800
Original artwork description
This work balances between the weight of stone and the lightness of air. A bird carved from rock sits by a window, suspended in stillness yet longing for flight. Inspired by magical realism and the paradoxes Milan Kundera explores in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, the painting reflects on Latin American traditions of animism, where objects carry spirit and possibility. The quiet night setting transforms the stone bird into both relic and dream, caught between heaviness and transcendence.
