Executed in a limited palette of three oil colors on Belgian linen, this intimate painting captures three small birds absorbed within an undefined natural setting. My intention was not to describe the scene, but to evoke the sensation of a brief, quiet encounter—a moment suspended within the rustic rhythm of the landscape.

Loose, fluid paint is allowed to move freely across the surface, encouraging the image to emerge through chance as much as control. The resulting gestures suggest the quick, restless movements of birds foraging on the ground or darting through low branches. Accidental marks and dissolving edges become part of the composition, adding immediacy and life.

Rendered in a subdued, near-monochrome palette of dark umber and soft neutral tones, the painting invites close viewing. It is presented in a richly crafted frame by Guido Frames, finished in hand-rubbed red clay and gold leaf. The warm, luminous frame contrasts beautifully with the earthy depth of the painting, enhancing its quiet yet resonant presence.
