Anja Semling - Bienenfresser auf Rot

Artwork mounted on a frame

In my work, the vitality and power of nature mingle with abstract expression. I created a dynamic background using the acrylic pouring technique. I used acrylic to create a dynamic, almost fluid atmosphere, through which the bee-eater flies, a symbol of freedom and beauty. This painting is a celebration of color and movement, capable of infusing energy and inspiration into any space. It reflects my deep admiration for the natural world and its pristine beauty. This bird lives in my native region of Kaiserstuhl, in southern Germany, during the summer. In autumn, the bee-eater returns to Africa and comes back at the beginning of summer. This magnificent painting is part of my series: “Wild Birds on a Fluid Art Background.” A detailed realism paired with a fluid and intuitive art backdrop.
