🌿 The Story Behind the Artwork
The Kea, New Zealand’s alpine parrot, is as intelligent as it is mischievous. Known for their playful antics and sharp curiosity, these birds thrive in the rugged mountain landscapes of the South Island. My graphite drawing captures the spark of personality in their gaze, bold, cheeky, and full of life. I’m always inspired by the way Kea interact with their environment, testing, exploring, and sometimes getting into trouble, yet always embodying the wild spirit of the mountains. This piece is a tribute to their clever charm and resilience in such a demanding habitat.
