The painting Girl with Bird and Monkey is an intimate exploration of the complex relationship between humans and nature, in which I weave emotion and symbolism to tell a story beyond words. The girl in the middle seems in harmony with the bird and the monkey, but her gaze carries a hint of melancholy, a subtle invitation to look inward - to her own stories, to the connections we cherish or lose.

The bird, a symbol of freedom and ambition, floats almost weightlessly beside her, while the monkey, with its earthly energy, seems firmly anchored in reality. Together, they represent the inner struggle between desire and connection, between the urge to escape and the strength to stay.

Every detail in this work has been carefully chosen - from the softness of the brushstrokes around her face that emphasise her vulnerability, to the texture in the bird's plumage, which suggests movement and life. The colour choices reflect emotions; warm tones of hope contrast with cooler tones of introspection.

With this work, I hope to remind the viewer of our shared humanity - how, like the girl, we seek balance in a world full of contradictions.
