About the artwork

In "Flight of the Raven" the moment of ultimate freedom is captured: a raven in full flight, its wings majestically spread, as if floating between the physical world and the unknown. Look closely and you can see how the delicate feathers flow smoothly into each other, from deep, almost black tones to subtle shades of purple and red, as if the light of a setting sun were touching it. The contrast with the soft, dreamy background enhances the sense of movement and gives the work an almost surreal atmosphere.

This work was inspired by the nature around Zoutelande, where the wind constantly plays with birds circling above the beach. The raven, a bird with rich symbolism in many cultures, fascinates me because of its intelligence and mysterious aura. He represents not only wisdom, but also transformation and the power to embrace the unknown - themes that resonated strongly with me while making this work.

The mood I wanted to set is one of mysticism and introspection. The work invites you to pause for a moment, turn inward, and ask yourself: what does freedom mean to you?

In this piece, I experimented with digital textures and traditional painting techniques, making the feathers seem almost tangible and giving the background a weathered, timeless look. In an interior, it acts as a powerful statement: an ode to elegance, freedom and the beauty of the unknown. Perfect for lovers of nature, mysticism and unique, powerful works of art.
