Raven Silhouette I features a singular bird, its form simplified yet dynamic against a warm, orange backdrop, encapsulating a sense of motion and vitality.
In Raven Silhouette II, the avian figure is transformed into an anthropomorphic being where the raven's wings morph into hands, and eyes appear both on the bird and within its feathers, all set against a rich, brown ground
Raven Silhouette III returns to the strictly avian motif. Here, the raven is depicted against a lush green, creating a sense of moodiness.Provenance
