Perched delicately on a branch against an olive-green wall, “The Goldfinch” by Nikita Spires celebrates the beauty of British wildlife in bold, lifelike colour. The bird’s vivid red face, golden wing flashes, and soft plumage are rendered with a painter’s precision and a naturalist’s care.

This piece brings a moment of nature’s calm to an industrial setting, transforming the metal surface into a living canvas. Through her detailed brushwork, Spires invites viewers to pause, look closer, and reconnect with the wildlife often overlooked in everyday surroundings.
