Shown with its wings fully extended, the bird hovers beneath a blazing golden halo centered by an intricate blue-and-gold mandala-like motif. Carreon's bird imagery draws on the idea of spirit birds as messengers between the earthly and spiritual realms, giving the hummingbird a deeper symbolic presence. The composition brings together nature, sacred imagery and the immediacy of street art, themes that define Carreon's contemporary practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carreon builds the bird through energetic marks, layered patterning and spray-painted passages. Vibrant greens and yellows flicker across its head and body, while the broad wings dissolve into rapid strokes, drips and bursts of black, pink and gold. Behind the figure, radiating lines and an interlocking geometric lattice give the hummingbird an icon-like presence, while the raw edges and fragments of text preserve the work's graffiti-inflected character. Inscribed across the lower field is “TROCHILIDAE,” the scientific family name for hummingbirds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in California, Carreon began his artistic career in graffiti and street culture before developing a studio practice that places urban mark-making in dialogue with spiritual symbolism. His work draws upon halos, sacred geometry and shamanic imagery, updating traditional religious iconography through a contemporary visual language. In his bird paintings, Carreon explores ideas of transcendence and spiritual connection through nature, making \u003cem\u003eHumming Bird Fly\u003c\/em\u003e a vivid meditation on movement, energy and the sacred. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 48\" high x 48\" wide (121.92 x 121.92 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 49 1\/2\" high x 49 1\/2\" wide x 2\" deep (125.73 x 125.72 x 5.08 cm)","brand":"M.S.
