BIRDS OF A FEATHER is a landscape art piece showing nature, time and companionship. The painting shows two old men sitting on a bench in a red-brown desert landscape. They look at mountains in the distance and think about time.

The men stand out. Birds are painted against a pale blue-yellow sky on squared paper. The work feels structured and measured.

The desert shows wisdom and resilience, while the birds symbolize freedom and hope. This mix of real and unreal makes you think about how we connect in life.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. 

db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
