Hello Erika, these works of the two clowns speak of a look at the past and another to the future, because as in circus life and in our real life, we are nothing more than present, existence, time, place and circumstances that often do not depend on us, but it is where we exist, that's why the artist paints the presence of the bird in his work.
It's my perception, I quite like how the artist coexists with his work.
