Title: Hello Stripes
Year: 2015
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 120 x 100 cm
Hello Stripes celebrates the simple connections that bring lightness to everyday life. Free from drama or grand symbolism, it focuses instead on companionship, trust, and the quiet comfort of being in good company.
I was drawn to the gentle interaction between the zebra and the birds. One bird rests comfortably on the zebra's back while the other moves freely through the air, creating a sense of ease, balance, and mutual presence. Together they form an unlikely friendship that feels both natural and familiar.
The restrained palette and spacious composition allow the relationship between the figures to take centre stage. The contrast between the monochrome zebra and the iridescent birds introduces a subtle sense of playfulness, while the open background gives the work room to breathe.
At its heart, Hello Stripes is a reflection on friendship, simplicity, and the small moments that make life feel a little lighter.
