The centrally placed ornamental cage creates a contrast with the multitude of brightly coloured birds surrounding it, which seem to transcend its boundaries with their presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist works with rich colours, detailed drawing, and pronounced ornamentation. The parrots are captured in a multitude of different poses and colour variations, while their dense arrangement creates an almost textile, decorative character of the picture. The delicate drawing structure at the same time allows the details of the feathers, the drawing of the bodies, and individual plant motifs to stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cage in the centre of the composition can act as a symbol of \u003cstrong\u003efreedom and its limitation\u003c\/strong\u003e – while one world is enclosed inside, the multitude of birds outside the cage creates an impression of movement, life, and freedom. This contrast gives the work not only decorative value but also a symbolic dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lithograph appears \u003cstrong\u003eplayful, exotic, and visually very rich\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is suitable for an interior where it can function as a striking standalone element, but at the same time, it also works well in eclectic, classic, or art-oriented spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e multicolour lithograph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivan Kováčik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e parrots, birdcage, exotic birds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter of the work:\u003c\/strong\u003e decorative, figurative, symbolic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigned and numbered:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphic sheet 5\/95, size 54x37 cm, or with a dark green-grey  matting and a grey frame, under gallery glass.
