The Red Macaw

Technique: Acrylic on canvas

It was during a trip to Bonito a town in Mato Grosso do Sul state, mid-western Brazil… The experience of feeling air from a macaw’s flapping wings above my head was enough for me to fall in love with them… To look to the sky, come across an enormous red macaw, to listen to its shriek and watch it land less than two meters away, there, free in the Nature… It was fascinating to study all of its details. It was quite impossible not to paint it.
