John Gould (1804-1881) was a British naturalist and painter of animals. He devoted himself to studying and sketching birds. 
He made a sketch called "Cissa Venatoria" of beautiful birds.
In 2023, I digitally embellished these birds and placed them on a more modern background. I added shadows, creating an almost magical 3D effect. 
Botanical, vintage art with a modern finish. 
                                
                                        The stylists at Art Heroes call my art style ‘Art with a Wink’. And I couldn't agree more. Life is serious enough as it is,  don't you think? ;-)
I mainly make surrealist artworks and collages,  because in those artstyles I can so wonderfully unleash my creativity and unbridled..
