The theme of this piece ponder around identity, nature and the complex human spirit. The combination of realistically measured figure with the vague or abstract construction creates a pictorial dialogue between the conscious and sub-conscious mind. The juxtaposition of abstract and figurative representation, using cubistic technique with a pop-art like approach, makes it a sophisticated painting. The woman centered amongst a jungle of colourful forms represents a world so complex and made up of interrelated elements. The white bird represents an immaculate innocence and hints our deep relationship with the natural world. By using daring colors and a dynamic composition the artist ultimately aims to let the audience reflect on the painting and have their senses stimulated and their thoughts roam.
