Leonardo Da Vinci bought many birds kept in cages only to take them home and set them free.
I thought of the same thing when I painted one of my interior doors with birds.
The flowers I painted don’t exist in nature, they exist in my fantasy and have big seeds. The birds I painted are also fantasy birds, they resemble parrots and in my imagination, they talk. I made them a couple, in my world, living creatures do reproduce.
I know one thing, I painted a cage and set my birds free, because in my home everyone is free even those characters living in my fantasy.
Are you curious to see behind this door? This is a bathroom and this is the immediate corner.
I have the tendency of painting every white surface and also like to design only one interior door in a different color or paint a mural on it, just to create an element of interest. I don’t know where this habit came from, but I started this trend a long time ago, then my clients followed it. Now, almost every client I have served has one different color door in their home.
Doors do close and divide spaces for privacy and functionality. The way I conceive them is about one world set into another world. I like to learn how and what people see in their doors through this Thursday Doors Challenge hosted by Dan Antion. Ciao,
Valentina

Hi Valentina, I really do love this painted door and the concept of all creatures being free. Unfortunately, here in South Africa, poaching is so bad, no animal can be free in the wild.

Robbie, every creature of this world is born free and free should remain, unfortunately reality is totally different, it’s so sad. Thanks for the visit.

Valentina, your painted door is incredible. What an awesome idea, painting one door differently in a house. I’m straight white doors and walls. But, the focus is on other people’s colorful paintings. You are the master of design, even in a bathroom. 📚🎶 Christine

Thats an interesting design element. The door is beautiful, and it’s a very striking use of a large, otherwise dull space. I like the tree and birds you’ve imagined. Thanks for joining us.
