The Gaze of a Million Eyes

In this portrait of a peacock, the artist takes a closer look at the exotic bird. Up close and personal, we see the tints and hints of pinks, purples under the sea of blue that dominates the canvas. Through countless short, swift brushstrokes, the artist paints the movement of the peacock and the shimmer of its feathers that exude an explosion of color and life, like the fiery yellow that seeks to escape from the bottom of the page.

Echoing the peacock's slanted gaze, an endless horde of multicolored eyes gaze back through its feathers- the artist's technique bringing the bird to life in all its intensity and seductiveness.
