Barn Owl

This dramatic collage on stretched canvas captures an owl in mid-flight, poised to strike its prey. The dynamic composition and intense contrast of light and dark emphasise the bird's powerful motion and predatory focus. The luminosity of the backlit owl's wings have been captured using custom-printed tissue papers set against the dark blue of a starry or moonlit night sky depicted in acrylic paint. The textured layers add depth and intensity, conveying the raw energy of the hunt in a bold, almost cinematic moment. A video of the creation of this artwork is available here. I wanted to honour the power, beauty and sheer design of this enchanting native bird of prey.
