Communication Bird

Time flies : 3 months passed since I’ve last posted an article on this blog. The last one was about those irratible birds called swanns. Todays‘ paintings also contain birds, but the topic is totally different. It’s about communication. On the first one, a blond woman is shouting at a man who seems quite indifferent to her agitation. A colourful bird is standing between them. It looks like he’s protecting the man from the woman‘s anger. Or maybe the bird is like a metaphor of the man. Or maybe it’s his totem-animal (some North-American or African cultures believe each human being or tribe has a „totem-animal“ that protects him). The second painting has a much more serene atmosphere. The women is smilling while the man is perplex. Still the same bird with the same colours, but its shape is not very clear, nearly disapearing in the background (or making one with it). It’s like on this painting the bird is not useful anymore, so he’s slowly vanishing. What’s your own interpretation of them?
