Black Cockatoo Portrait Print – 8x10 Inch or A4 Printed on Thick High-quality Archival Paper
'Black Cockatoo in Blue'
Add a touch of authentic Australian wildlife to your home with this 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 inch) or A4 21 x29 cm (8 x 12 inches) Black Cockatoo PRINT, originally hand‑painted by myself (Christina Shafik) an Australian artist. This striking wildlife artwork celebrates one of Australia’s most iconic native birds, capturing the Black Cockatoo’s expressive personality, textured plumage, and commanding presence through detailed brushwork and refined attention to form.
I chose to paint the Black Cockatoo set in the ultramarine-blue velvet of night, a colour palette that enhances its starry highlights and its smiling personality. As I worked through the layered feathers, subtle highlights, and distinctive contours of its face and crest, I found his jaunty attitude - something that revealed itself the longer I painted. This portrait invites viewers to appreciate the joyous and spirited character of our Black Cockatoos, making it a standout piece for lovers of Australian bird art and nature‑inspired home décor.
