Flying Free
About this artwork
Javier says this work is a reflection of his passion for nature. A family in their front yard releases several birds. Part of Javier's long running series of people enjoying everyday activities, painted from his imagination without any visual references. He starts with a single sketch to determine the composition and then begins drawing, with most of the colors already mapped out in his head. It is an important moment, Javier explains, getting the colors right is crucial to achieve balance.Measurements are for the full size paper 55.11 x 39.37, and the approximate painted area is 48 x 33.4. Under the painted area in the right corner in pencil is the title of the work in Spanish, Volando libres, the signature and the year in two digits (18). It is also signed on the back.
