This piece is painted as an ornamental icon to be placed on a shelf, mantlepiece etc. Bathed in a soft, metallic glow and encircled by a luminous halo, this Eastern Yellow Robin is elevated from a familiar woodland presence into something almost devotional. Painted on a radiant copper-gold ground, the bird becomes an icon of gentleness and quiet resilience — a small guardian spirit perched at the threshold between the natural and the divine. In the wild, Eastern Yellow Robins are known for their calm curiosity, often appearing close to observers as if acknowledging their presence. Here, that trait becomes symbolic: the bird stands as a reminder of the quiet connections between humans and the more-than-human world, and of the everyday miracles that reveal themselves when we truly pay attention. The Sacred Songbird Series reimagines familiar songbirds as divine, sacred figures, each perched in a luminous world of gold leaf with a gentle halo radiating around it. By presenting these birds in the style of religious icons, the paintings invite viewers to see the sacred in the natural world and draws attention to how even the smallest creatures can embody a sense of the divine, turning the birds we are accustomed to into something almost transcendent.
