Description
-
This design is about a giant majestic bird that we encountered quite often in the Prespa Lake: the pelicans. One day, while exploring the various beach areas there, I enjoyed a natural phenomenon. The pelicans have the habit to throw their prey in the sky, and then catch it in mid air with their huge peeks. I was mesmerised by this unusual moment of mother nature and wildlife. How come a huge bird such as this one, can so easily glide like a plane on the surface of the water, and catch a prey for itself – a snack, as I call it. Most of my work in the Prespa Art Residency was inspired by wildlife. So, I considered this moment as a source of inspiration for my drawings. I called it “Flip Flop Fish”, because it looked so acrobatic, but also a really smooth catch at the same moment. Pelicans are well known for their skills in hunting, in which they have a huge advantage because of their size and giant wings. They easily adapt and survive in any condition. Djoshkun Alievski
