In BLUE PARROT Szakats draws inspiration from a fragment of Jan Brueghel the Elder's A Fantastic Cave with Odysseus and Calypso (1616). The image has a central focus on the blue parrot, placed against a cropped view that evokes a cavernous frame, creating a sense enclosure and shelter. This composition references Renaissance paintings where caves or hallways guide the viewer’s gaze. The protective cave-like framing creates an intimate yet distant connection with the world, echoing Le Monde, the 21st Tarot de Marseille card, which symbolises completion, protection, and the synthesis of experience. Szakats’s piece captures the tension between seeking refuge and closeness while also freedom and independence, sparking a reflection on the ambiguity of the dynamics within intimate relationships.
