Humanizing birds, giving them equal if not more importance than people
Elevating them to human status by ornamenting
and dressing them extravagantly
Mimicking portraits of nobility and aristocracy of
Renaissance and Baroque Europe
Portraits of rulers asserted their majesty in places
from which they were absent
In courtly settings, portraits often had diplomatic significance
Paintings are framed in elaborate gilded frames: just like people’s portraitures framed and hung prominently in homes of the elite
Displayed in groups to evoke portrait galleries of their illustrious ancestries
Portraits of birds are painted straight on. Birds are posing, just as
subjects did during those olden days while sitting for the painter
Your birds’ eyes are giving viewers an intense hypnotizing look,
telling them that they are just as smart as they are, if not smarter
They are very cognizant of what’s going on
They know what humanity is doing to
one another, to animals, and to the planet
They feel that tables should be turned and they should be in charge, not us
Ultimately, they are waiting for the day of reckoning, where
humanity self-implodes and “Wild Things” reign supreme - AGAIN
The End - And a new beginning is near.
