About the artwork

In a remote coastal town, where the waves gently lapped against the rocks and the salty air caressed the horizon, there was an atmosphere of serene beauty. It was here, among the dancing seagulls and the rushing tide, that a special resident ruled the skies above the ocean - the majestic John of Ghent named Alaric.

Alaric, with his spotless white plumage and graceful black wingtips, was considered the king of the sky. Every morning he stood on the cliff, his sharp eyes fixed on the endless sea, like a sentinel of the unknown. The other birds looked up to him, inspired by his graceful flights and the power with which he exploited thermals.

One day, when the air was filled with a gentle breeze and the sun cast a golden glow over the water, Alaric decided to spread his wings for a special journey. He crossed the horizon, floating among the clouds like a living work of art. Along exotic shores and across vast oceans, he met other birds and shared stories of his home on the serene coast.

As the seasons changed and the years passed, Alaric became a legend among both birds and people. His name became synonymous with freedom and the indomitable spirit of the ocean. Local artists painted his image, and poets chanted his flights in verse.

One day, when Alaric returned to his native land, he saw that his story had been immortalised in people's hearts. A lighthouse stood proudly on the cliff, its white spire and black stripes in perfect harmony with Alaric's feathers. It was as if nature and man met in a tribute to the graceful John of Ghent, symbol of the untamed horizon and the eternal journey of the soul.
