The Asrtists - Martin Sati

This choral work brings together various species of birds that symbolize great artists throughout history, interweaving nature and culture in a circular composition that encompasses almost the entire creative world. Each bird, with its colorful plumage and unique shape, represents an artistic genius, symbolizing the uniqueness of each creator and his or her particular form of expression.

Through this natural imagery, a map is drawn that reflects the evolution and interweaving of artistic ideas that have shaped our culture over the centuries. Each species of bird embodies the spirit of an artist; not all those who have marked the world of art are present, but those chosen represent essential milestones.

Examples of this work include:

Paradisaea apoda – Salvador Dalí : Dalí's eccentricity and surrealism are reflected in this bird of paradise, with its extravagant plumage that symbolizes the dreamlike and theatrical nature of his work.
Alcedo atthis – Vincent Van Gogh : The kingfisher, with its vibrant blue and orange plumage, evokes the emotional and chromatic intensity of Van Gogh's brushstrokes, which capture the dynamism of nature.
Phasianus colchicus – Francis Bacon : The pheasant, with its majestic and somewhat grotesque appearance, is associated with the crude representation of the human body that characterizes Bacon's work.
Each of the birds chosen for this composition not only reflects the stylistic characteristics of the artist it represents, but also his emotional and philosophical impact on the artistic universe. This circle of birds creates a holistic and harmonious image of the cultural legacy that, like a natural ecosystem, has been built with the contribution of these brilliant minds.

This "natural and expressive map" pays tribute to those who have transformed the history of art, allowing the viewer to travel between different eras and styles through the species that represent them.
