About the Item

Here we have a very confused flamingo that thought following the gulf stream would lead him to the Gulf of Mexico, sadly mistaken, ended up in the Lofoten islands, an archipelago off the coast of northern Norway. Me thinks he will have to catch a cruise ship to return to the tropics, no palm trees here. In creating this piece, I aimed to merge the boundaries between realism and surrealism, illustrating a vivid, almost fantastical moment grounded in lifelike detail. Here, a flamingo stands, poised yet seemingly puzzled by its small reflective pond, contrasting dramatically against a rugged mountain background and expansive sky. The scene invites contemplation about nature and perception, stirring a sense of wonder and introspection in any space it adorns.
