There’s something truly powerful about the presence of a black cockatoo, and this painting captures that moment of stillness and strength as one sits on a branch, claws wrapped around a nut. I’ve always admired these incredible birds — their beauty, their resilience, and the way they hold such an important place in Australian birdlife. In this work, the cockatoo’s feathers come alive with layered tones of pink, blue, and rich contrast against a bold green background. I loved creating this piece, celebrating both the delicate detail and raw energy of such a striking bird. A statement artwork for collectors who share my love of Australian wildlife.

Through the use of mixed media, combining acrylics, spray, enamel and intermittent use of oil paints I let my subject emerge from a rich and deeply layered base. The dimensional texture that masterfully unveils each layer, lets the bright colours play in harmony and contrast with each other.
This artwork is created on 380gsm 100% cotton canvas and finished with a double coat UV resistant, high gloss varnish to protect the integrity and longevity of the painting. Stretched and ready to hang, using gallery-grade hanging wire, this artwork is completed with a custom-crafted floating frame made from Tasmanian oak. I have signed this original painting on the front and back, with its title and date written on the rear of the canvas.
Price includes shipping Australia wide. Please contact me for international shipping.
