Above the gods
Something that does not stop fascinating me of Australia is how easy it is for people to enjoy life in the city. This is reflected both in the amount of green spaces and coastal areas, where enviable houses are at a sufficient distance from the ocean to allow a continuous walk in which every few hundred meters free barbacues, parks for children and toilets can be found, among other amenities.
I was in one of these urban coastal areas when a pelican passed overhead. It is a common bird in Australia, but not for that matter any less colossal, since its wingspan can reach 2.6 meters and it can weigh up to 13 kg, thus becoming one of the heaviest creatures able to fly.
The image shows one of these giant birds floating lightly above the beautiful facade of a noble building. The title of this work is an interpretation of what the pelican might feel when flying over the winged sculptures.
Significance of the artwork:
This artwork shows us that, regardless of who we are or what we have, we all have something to feel proud of.
Social commitment:
A portion of the profits from the sale of this artwork will be donated to a project to support people with some kind of disability, so all of them can feel as powerful as this pelican. More information about his project will be available soon.
