What is the story / thought behind this original painting?

"Break Free" was born out of quiet observations in my backyard, where pigeons flit and flutter daily. Watching the male birds persistently pursue uninterested females, interrupting their meals, invading their moments of rest. I began to ponder what freedom might look like through their eyes. This painting imagines a longing for space, for release from expectations, for the right to simply be.

Bright sunrise tones lend a symbolic optimism to the piece, infusing it with the hope of a new day. It’s an exploration of balance and boundaries, celebrating the courage to step away from what doesn’t serve us and into the warmth of self-discovery.

What materials and techniques were used to create this original painting?

This original painting was created using professional grade oil paints on museum grade Ampersand Gessobord, chosen for their rich colour and long lasting quality. I use traditional layering and glazing techniques to build depth, texture, and fine detail, bringing the birds to life with realism and feeling.
