Poster - Wren

What do we see in this poster?

This artwork printed on a poster features one of our native forest dwellers. The wren is known to us from literature and music. Shakespear already wrote about the lively songbird and the wren was even known to the ancient Greek poets. The colors brown and green predominate in the picture. Thanks to its camouflaged plumage, the wren could easily disappear into the picture if it weren't for these leaves that create a great contrast to it. The colors suggest that it is already autumn and the forests will transform into a sea of ​​gold and red colors. Our wren is certainly on the way to prepare his nest and be well prepared to survive the winter.
