The artwork was shown at the Women's University Club in Mayfair, on July 5th 2024, for the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the King of Ashanti Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. A private function held by the King's nephew, Yaw Mark Nkansah-Amoyaw with speeches about the King's collectibles which are held at Windsor, the V&A and The Wallace Collection. 

The Flight of Salvador is the last painting in the series of gold panels from The Brazil Collection. I carefully select the colour & positioning for the pieces, painting in pairs. Each bird is painted in oil to project from the grains of the birchwood. Each bird has their own character & I wanted the bird in this piece to be in flight. With resting vines of Brazillian flowers entwined & falling behind the bird. 

The painting shows different painting techniques. I used acrylic to paint the botanical work and t here is a light acrylic wash on the birchwood, so that the grain shows through, contrasting with the vibrant oils of which the painted hummingbird.
