24" x 24" Mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas

In "Unexpected Buzz", Toronto artist Dalia Manoim captures the delicate balance between stillness and awareness - a moment where calm presence meets quiet vigilance. A fox rests in tranquil ease beside an attentive owl, while a bee hovers among figs and tropical blooms. Created in mixed media oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, the painting glows with orange, gold, green, and violet tones. Rich in texture and symbolism, it celebrates the intelligence of bees, the harmony of coexistence, and the quiet pulse of life that connects all living beings.
