Two Voices

The artist note:

With the parrots’ astonishing ability to mimic sounds, the idea of having them sing as part of my imagined orchestra was irresistible.

As always, I worked within a classical Eastern framework, adding a golden touch with sheets of gold. In this painting, I combined black and colored ink with gouache, watercolors, markers, and colored pencils. For the background, I sprayed layers with my old classic airbrush—the very one I once blew into back in school.

Here, a pair of Eclectus parrots rise in duet, their voices lifting into the timeless refrain: Ya Leil, Ya Ein.

This original work is a signature piece from the Animal Orchestra series, balancing precision with vibrancy and celebrating the harmony that can exist between two distinct voices.
