In this expressive work, three magpies rise gracefully above a restless river, their black-and-white wings cutting boldly through the air. The churning waves, painted in deep turquoise and teal with textured, impasto strokes, capture the unrelenting force of nature, while flashes of red and violet suggest fleeting life within the current.
Above the turbulence, a break of light emerges from the storm-filled sky, casting a golden glow that frames the birds in mid-flight. The central magpie, wings outstretched, seems to ascend directly into this radiance, embodying a sense of resilience, freedom, and transcendence.
Balancing movement with symbolism, the painting evokes the eternal tension between struggle and liberation, chaos and clarity, earth and sky. The magpies, often seen as messengers or bearers of transformation, serve here as guides — carrying the eye upward from the turmoil of the river to the promise of light beyond.
