Blue Bird in the Canopy

$450.00

Blue Bird in the Canopy by Hilario Quezada is a striking blend of color, linework, and natural imagery. A single bird perches confidently among delicately painted green leaves, centered within a circular frame that evokes both medallion and window. Earthy red and black geometric bands surround the main image, guiding the eye upward toward a flared rim detailed with repeating motifs.
The balance between engraved and painted elements gives this piece both depth and softness. Quezada’s color palette — muted green, terracotta red, deep black, and natural beige — creates an elegant harmony rooted in both tradition and nature.
