Perched Form

A large, simplified bird occupies the center of the composition, positioned between two branching trees. Its body rises vertically, tapering upward into a rounded head with a single dark eye rendered in sharp contrast. The form is defined by clear contour lines and layered color planes. Cool turquoise and pale green run along the neck, while warm reds and oranges fill the breast. The lower body transitions into muted olive and ochre tones, built through visible strokes that retain directional movement. The surrounding trees frame the bird with branching networks of pale rose and grey lines, creating a lattice that both encloses and stabilizes the central figure. The background shifts between bright yellow-green and blue, providing luminous contrast without receding into depth. The composition remains frontal and contained, presenting the bird as a constructed vertical presence held within a branching structure.
