ABOUT THE ART:
The inspiration for this collection of crane paintings was drawn from traditional textile patterns and decorative arts that depict these birds.
Cranes have been utilized as symbols for various virtues such as longevity, faithfulness, aspiration, and immortality in art throughout history. From Egyptian relief carvings to Chinese ink paintings, European wall coverings and beyond, these birds have been prevalent across numerous cultures.
By showcasing these graceful birds against a plain background, the paintings take on a decorative quality that emphasizes their pattern-like appearance.
