Abstract
My final thesis, named Stray Birds, is themed as the poetry collection Stray Birds of the Indian poet Tagore. I have finished 12 illustrations in my final portfolio, each of which is accompanied by a special short verse. I have always been planning to paint a picture book about a poetry anthology. And I have been crazy about Stray Birds, a masterpiece of the well-known Indian poet Tagore.Tagore gives much importance to descriptions about nature in Stray Birds. A bird, a flower, a star or a raindrop can all be endowed with humanity and vitality.
And that is exactly what I am good at. I am trying to turn abstract poems into specific pictures based on my own understanding without losing the color of imagination.
