About the artwork

In a serene and quiet room, where time seems to stand still, a tiny house sparrow sits quietly on the edge of a simple wooden chair. Her delicate silhouette is highlighted by a soft ray of light falling through a narrow opening. The warm, golden light hugs her delicate feathers, revealing a harmonious palette of earth tones: the subtle brown tones of her back, the warm rust-red hues on her head, and the soft, almost silky whiteness of her breast.

The house sparrow looks calm and alert at the same time. Her beady eyes sparkle in the light, a reflection of her lively but subdued spirit. Her thin, fragile legs clasp lightly to the rough wood of the chair, which bears signs of age-a subtle reminder of the passage of time.

Around her, a quiet simplicity reigns. The background is blurred, but just enough to give a vague suggestion of a wall, in soft tones that accentuate the light without distracting. The house sparrow seems unaware of her own beauty, nor of the almost painterly scene she creates. Her natural charm and minimalist surroundings make her the centrepiece of a timeless scene.

The light, soft but focused, enhances the contrast between shadow and brightness, bringing every detail of her appearance to life. The serenity and fragility of this moment invite the viewer to pause, observe and admire-the simplicity of life captured in a radiant moment. Rural, modern rural, understated.
