• Description:
• Red Birds is an original textured mixed media painting by Liliia Kaluzhyna (Alika), inspired by emotional connection, companionship and the invisible bond that can unite two beings.
• At the centre of the composition, two red birds sit close together on a dark curved branch. Their position suggests a quiet conversation and a shared moment, transforming the small scene into a symbol of closeness, mutual understanding and trust.
• The intense red colour creates the main visual and emotional accent, standing out against the cooler blue, white and black palette. This contrast gives the compact composition energy while keeping the two birds at its symbolic centre.
• Expressive layers of texture paste, marble paste and acrylic paint form an abstract environment filled with movement. Raised marks, sweeping lines and irregular fragments create depth and suggest leaves, wind, flowing water or changing natural forms.
• The birds are individually modelled by hand from clay and integrated into the painted surface. Their sculptural relief adds a tactile dimension and makes the artwork change subtly depending on the direction of the light.
• The composition can be interpreted as a symbol of love, friendship, partnership or the rare feeling of being truly understood by another person. It may also serve as a reminder that genuine connection does not always require words.
• The original artwork measures 25 × 25 cm and is presented in a white wooden frame measuring 28 × 28 cm. The 5 cm deep frame, protective glass and passe-partout emphasise the relief while giving the miniature a clean, contemporary presentation.
• The artwork is ready to hang on the wall or display on a shelf, desk or console table. Its compact size makes it suitable for small spaces and allows it to become part of a curated gallery wall.
• Larger versions are available by commission in 40 × 40 cm, 60 × 60 cm and 80 × 80 cm. Each commissioned painting is individually created while preserving the principal composition, colour palette, textured technique, sculptural red birds and symbolic meaning of the original.
