“The Bee”

This piece captures a honeybee in striking realism and warmth — a golden guardian of the natural world, frozen mid-flight. The translucent wings shimmer with sunlight, delicately veined like stained glass. Its fuzzy thorax, painted with intricate strokes of amber and shadow, radiates a soft vitality, while its powerful legs and antennae carry a sense of tireless devotion. Suspended in stillness against a neutral backdrop, the bee becomes both symbol and sentinel — a quiet tribute to resilience, purpose, and the quiet hum of life that sustains the world.
