The Creation of birds by Remedios Varo

This blog is about 'The Creation of birds', which was painted by Remedios Varo. It was painted in1957. She was born on the 16th of December, 1908, and died in October, 1963, age 54.

In this painting you can see some kind of a bird person sitting at a desk. They have a violin hung around their neck.  They also are holding both a paintbrush, and a triangle magnifying glass. I think that the  magnifying glass is shining beams of light and creating an illusion of a bird. The bird person is then painting the bird to make it real.

There is also a tube going out the window, which is attached to what looks sort of like an hour glass. There are another three tubes coming out of the hour glass and dripping the colors, blur, yellow, and red on to a pallet. The primary colors, represent that everything is some form of something else. Because atoms (so far) can not be destroyed, but rather they decompose and re-grow as something new. I think that the hour glass represents that everything is made, and destroyed by time. But that the paints coming out of the hour glass represents that time does not just destroy things, it also creates them.

I think that this painter is very inspirational. She also shares some similarities with the painter Hieronymus Bosch. Such as their layered paintings. You could look at their work for hours and still notice new things. Her work is fun to look at and explore, it is also inspirational and creative. I think that they have made a valuable contribution to the world of art.
