Silence 2020

"Silence," a 2020 painting by German artist Eckart Hahn, depicts a vibrant, red bird perched on a branch. Hahn's signature style, using meticulous details and realistic rendering, is on full display here. The bird's plumage appears incredibly lifelike, with each individual feather carefully painted. The rich, saturated color of the bird stands in contrast to the dark blue background, creating a sense of depth and focus. The bird's eye, though partially obscured by the feathers, holds a sense of intensity that draws the viewer in. The painting captures a moment of stillness and contemplation, prompting viewers to ponder the nature of silence and its connection to the natural world.
