Q & A
Immediately recognizable as a pigeon, but not the kind of pigeon one would encounter in most cities, Toikka’s rendition of the common bird has a mystical quality. Like many of Toikka’s creations, his pigeon is a mixture of fiction and reality, proportioned as his imagination sees fit.Immediately recognizable as a pigeon, but not the kind of pigeon one would encounter in most cities, Toikka’s rendition of the common bird has a mystical quality. Like many of Toikka’s creations, his pigeon is a mixture of fiction and reality, proportioned as his imagination sees fit. Its stunning glass finish will inspire you as the light hits the surface, revealing the rainbows of color contained therein. The body of the pigeon is plump and humble, but Toikka’s beautiful use of color endows it with an ethereal glory. The bird’s head has a metallic grey finish that changes according to the light and its granite colored beak displays a similar effect.
Make this bird a part of your collection and let yourself be inspired by its subtle beauty. Rainbows of color hidden in the gray feathers will never cease to garner your appreciation and surprise.
