Original Acrylic Painting – “Beleza Azul”
Artwork by Sophie Parkhill | SP Wildlife Art
Vibrant. Striking. Unforgettable.
"Beleza Azul" (meaning Blue Beauty in Portuguese) is an original painting of a Hyacinth Macaw which captures the world’s largest flying parrot in exquisite detail. Set against a deep, moody background, the bird’s intense cobalt feathers and signature golden markings leap from the surface in vivid, realistic colour.
Painted in professional-grade, lightfast acrylic on a smooth wooden panel, the surface was carefully sealed with GAC-100 prior to painting to protect against Support Induced Discolouration (SID), ensuring the richness of the pigments remains uncompromised. Once complete, the artwork was finished with a layer of Golden MSA Satin Varnish, offering the highest level of archival protection against dust, humidity, and indoor UV exposure.
The painting is professionally framed in a sleek, matte black floating tray frame that adds an elegant modern edge, while giving a subtle shadow border around the panel - enhancing the visual impact without distraction.
