Have been enjoying being creative with the subject of a fascinating owl. In real life, owls are truly beautiful birds! Birds have always inspired and fascinated me. Especially their ability to fly themselves is extremely special. The beauty of owls is that they look so beautiful out of their eyes. Big eyes that can keep a close eye on everything, especially at night. And then, of course, if you also have a head that can turn almost all the way around, you can see everything even better. How turning an owl's neck is anatomically possible is such a clever feat of nature! I found this owl in a second-hand shop. In the shape of a t-shirt. I wore this owl t-shirt for a long time but now, unfortunately, it has seen its best days. Before the garment goes into the bag of old clothes, I wanted to 'catch' the owl to keep it forever. Because I think this owl is so beautifully designed. A shape that reminds me of the Indians. I converted the photo to black and white to make the shapes and textures stand out even more. Also, the owl's eyes are even more pronounced in black and white, looking at you penetratingly. Finally, I added some movement to the photo. This gives the owl artwork extra dynamism. And this beautiful bird certainly deserves that!

The starting point of this process for me is always a photo or a painting of my own. Every work of art on this site is therefore based on a self-made photo or painting.
I find my sources of inspiration in everything around me...
