Throughout the history of art, paintings have featured birds for thousands of years. In fact, humans have long been inspired by birds, their ability to take flight, and the unique perspective they have on the world around us. Birds often symbolize a certain aspirational quality that sets human beings apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, which is why depictions of divine beings often draw upon the physicality of these beautiful winged creatures. Now fast forward to the present day. The symbolic use of birds continues today unabated. That’s why today we have a little treat for you by the famous Spanish street artist Sabek.
