Rainbow Bee-eater in Flight
This dynamic piece captures a rainbow bee-eater in full flight — wings swept back, tail trailing, as if suspended in a moment of effortless motion. The bird’s vivid plumage shimmers with rich emerald, turquoise, and golden tones, rendered with delicate precision to highlight its natural brilliance. Rising from a handcrafted timber panel composed of staggered native wood sections, the bee-eater appears to lift off the surface — alive, agile, and free.
The contrast between the smooth, flowing lines of the bird and the textured, earthy grains of the wood forms a striking harmony — a meeting point between movement and stillness, nature and craft. With its sleek form and focused gaze, the bee-eater evokes clarity, energy, and joyful purpose.
Framed by an open natural setting, this work radiates both serenity and vitality — a celebration of Australia's vibrant birdlife, fine artistry, and the quiet stories found in flight.
