About this artwork
The bird depicted in the painting is based on the magnificent Victoria Crowned Pigeon. Unfortunately due to habitat loss, these birds are mostly kept and bred in captivity today. The painting is divided by two blocks of color, one being a dusty blue, and the other silver with spots. The bird is meticulously painted in detail and sits serenely in the upper half of the painting. Its body rests on a criss-cross of brown and beige stripes that are reminiscent…
of twigs. The term nest egg means to save money or other assets for future use. In the painting the artist contemplates the future of threatened species.

« My art is associative. It’s how I interpret the world around me. »
Robin Ballard is an exciting Swiss painter who has exhibited her work nationally. In her paintings, she primarily reflects on contemporary issues such as migration, the rise of China and global dependency on crude oil, seeking not to impose any particular stance but rather to provoke thought and introspection. Ballard additionally enjoys the play between abstract and realistic representation, expertly navigating both to compose a body of work that showcases impressive diversity across a range of styles, subjects and forms.
