Elise Eekhout - Parrot in Motion

In this dynamic work, Elise Eekhout captures the energy and grace of a parrot in mid-flight. Painted swiftly with acrylics on craft paper, the artwork carries the spontaneity of rapid brushstrokes that evoke movement, freedom, and vibrancy. The colourful bird – in shades of red, green, and blue – leaps from the warm brown background, creating a striking contrast that enhances its lively presence.
The painted craft paper has been carefully mounted onto a canvas, adding texture and depth to the piece while preserving the expressive raw quality of the original surface. Although figurative, the work retains an expressive character, allowing viewers to feel the motion of wings slicing through the air.
This unique combination of material and technique reflects Eekhout’s playful exploration of texture and immediacy.
A vivid, energetic artwork that brings colour, character, and a sense of movement into any interior.

Created with Windsor & Newton and Amsterdam Pro acrylics, the painting maintains the loose, expressive style the artist developed during her studies and personal journey at the St. Joost Academy (Breda).
