The world needs imagination and “Hummingbird” is an invitation to the viewer to see differently.
The painting is a portrait of the artist’s son at 2 years old with the inspiration derived from his son’s joy of visiting a favourite café with his mother, Anna. Painted with a Calypte anna or Anna’s hummingbird in the foreground the child here is the object of devotion; innocence framed within a halo like that seen in Greek Orthodox Church iconography.
