About the artwork

This statement piece presents two cassowaries facing one another in quiet symmetry. Each bird wears a radiant crown like crest that fans outward, while ornate linework maps the neck, wings, and legs with rhythmic curves and dots. The fresh green background glows softly and is scattered with circular motifs that echo the crests, creating a ceremonial space around the pair. Despite the rich patterning, the silhouettes remain clean and readable, so the composition has strong presence from across the room and plenty of detail up close.

The design balances geometry and ornament: broad black shapes give structure, while the etched lines add movement and a handcrafted feel. Printed large, the textures and motifs hold beautifully, making the artwork ideal for living rooms, studios, and entryways that benefit from a bold yet elegant focal point. The palette of greens with bright light accents sits comfortably with natural woods, linen textiles, and neutral walls, adding a refined tropical note without overwhelming the space.

Rooted in folk inspired stylization and refined with contemporary clarity, this cassowary pair suggests partnership, dialogue, and poise. It’s a decorative image with narrative hints—two guardians meeting beneath a radiant sky—perfect for collectors who enjoy graphic strength and subtle storytelling.
