Four barn owls sit huddled together on a weathered wooden balustrade against a pitch-black background that strikingly highlights their characteristic heart-shaped facial discs. Three of the birds gaze directly at the viewer; their dark, alert eyes establish an immediate, almost hypnotic connection. The fourth owl, on the right, peers curiously through a narrow gap in the wooden wall. Using fine brushstrokes, the artist renders the soft, almost velvety texture of the white facial disc, creating a captivating contrast with the finely speckled plumage of the breast and wings. The composition thrives on the interplay of the owls' individual personalities within the group. Each owl wears a slightly different expression—ranging from alert and gentle to playfully curious—lending the painting remarkable emotional depth.
Born 1967 in Zurich, Switzerland, first exhibition 2003, in 2006 I began to paint oil colour on velvet. I like to play with the structure from the velvet. There is a special effect on the painting with velvet.
