The painting “Little food for the chaffinches” offers a poignant glimpse into the relationship between humans and nature. At its heart lies an extraordinarily ordinary scene: a water jug filled with clear water and fresh orange slices, a croissant, and a small jar of jam. These objects, symbols of human abundance and comfort, simultaneously invite us to look beyond our immediate surroundings to the wider world.
The work not only celebrates the luxury and joy of a sunny garden breakfast but also subtly fosters awareness of the needs of birds. It encourages reflection on how a garden, enriched with greenery, a tree, or a hedge, can become a welcoming sanctuary for these small visitors, providing them with ample food and shelter.
Through this painting, I aim to invite people to appreciate what is already present and to consider how simple choices can contribute to an environment where both humans and nature can thrive.
