Birds of Paradise

“Birds of Paradise” is an enchanting giclée on canvas by Michael Summers that invites viewers into a surreal and vibrant avian world. This panoramic piece stretches with a wide aspect, presenting a flock of elegantly elongated birds, each one a burst of brilliant color against a monochromatic, stormy sky filled with dynamic cloud formations. Summers’ signature style breathes life into these fantastical creatures with a blend of photorealism and whimsy.

From the rich, sun-kissed yellows and oranges to the deep, royal blues and purples, each bird stands with a distinct, proud posture, their plumage a vivid display against the gray backdrop. The reflection beneath them suggests they are wading in a shallow pool, the water mirroring their exceptional hues and adding depth to the scene.

The artwork’s title, “Birds of Paradise,” reflects not only the birds’ resplendent colors but also the notion of an idyllic realm where the beauty of nature can take on extraordinary forms. Each bird, while reminiscent of a flamingo in grace and stature, is transformed by Summers’ imagination into something otherworldly, representing the limitless possibilities of nature’s palette and form.

Summers has created more than just a visual spectacle; he has woven a narrative that captures the essence of discovery and the joy of the natural world. This giclée on canvas is a statement piece that beckons the onlooker to ponder the wonders of the natural world, an invitation to embrace the extraordinary, and a reminder that paradise can be a state of mind, brought to life through art. Perfect for collectors who seek a blend of the real and the imagined, “Birds of Paradise” is a conversation starter and a mesmerizing addition to any space that values the fantastical side of nature’s artistry.
