I was filled with wonder seeing hummingbirds for the first time in a South American garden. Their delicate beauty and graceful movements mesmerised me, reminding me that true beauty often resides in life’s smallest details. Through soft brushstrokes and gentle colours, I wanted this painting to capture the magical feeling of awe, freedom, and grace I experienced that day. It’s a celebration of tiny moments that can leave the deepest impressions on our hearts.
