Fire Hawk

CA$485.00
Sold

For thousands of years, Australia’s Aboriginal people have sung stories about sacred “firehawks” — raptors that, according to lore, use fire to hunt. There are stories where raptors are reported to of snatched brands from indigenous cooking fires and depositing them in grass up to half a kilometer away. The hawks do this to flush their prey out from the bush.

In this painting I tried to capture the moment of the hunt where the hawk is about to start a fire.
