About the artwork

This photo of the pelican was taken with a wide-angle lens at a distance of 1 metre. The pelican was sitting on the shore of Playa Grandi (Curaçao).
The wide angle gives you the beautiful effect.
The majestic pelican stands like a statue on the rock, its imposing stature against the backdrop of Playa Grandi, where the sea sings its endless melody. Its feathers, like a painter's palette mixed with sunlight, catch the breeze blowing from over the waves. With a regal pose, he looks straight ahead.

Behind him, the expanse of the sea stretches out like a picturesque canvas, with a riser stretching out like a resting place and rock formations rising steadfastly from the crystalline waters. The waves whisper stories of journeys and adventures as they gently lash against the rocks, like an eternal serenade to the shoreline.

The pelican seems to resonate with the tranquillity of this place, his presence a perfect fusion with the natural splendour around him. His eyes reflect a deep understanding of the ocean, as if he were a keeper of its secrets. Every detail of his stature exudes a calm grace, as if he were a messenger of serenity amid the dynamism of the sea.

In this image, time and space seem to blur, only the pelican and its surroundings remain, intertwined in a moment of timeless beauty. It is a reminder of the splendour of nature and the simple, pure grace found all around us, for those willing to look and feel.
