Wren and the Nest - canvas

What do we see in this work of art?

This mural, printed on a canvas, shows us a native songbird. The wren is well known in Germany, but it is also native to large parts of Europe and East Asia. We know it as a particularly dynamic songbird that builds its nest primarily in the undergrowth of the forest. That is exactly what we can look at in this work. The wren has built its niche near the forest floor, and another resident looks out curiously from it. The color green predominates in the picture and embodies the soul of the forests in which the wren lives. But here and there bright red berries catch our eyes and guide our gaze over white and blue flowers to the main characters in this work. Why not bring this intelligent and dynamic bird into your home?

Where can this mural hang?

This work of art is particularly suitable for friends of our local flora and fauna. It carries the energy of nature and in this way allows us to come closer to the forests in our thoughts.
