The Sri Lankan Junglefowl (Gallus lafayettii), Sri Lanka's national bird, is a dazzling symbol of the island’s vibrant biodiversity. With its radiant plumage of fiery reds, oranges, and deep purples, and the striking comb of the male resembling a flame, this bird exudes natural drama. Found in the dense forests of Sri Lanka, it epitomizes the wild, untamed beauty of its habitat.
In this artwork, the artist, Sanath Herath, has intentionally kept the background sparse to emphasize the bird's vivid colors, intricate feather patterns, and proud stance. The simplicity highlights its inherent drama, ensuring the viewer’s focus remains entirely on its striking presence.
