Birds, Notes & Gears (1000 pcs)

Step into a world of steampunk puzzle wonder, full of mystery and mechanical poetry. Six mechanical birds, each looking like a piece of clockwork jewelry, come to life in this image: an owl with big blue eyes topped with a tuft of golden gears, a brass magnifying glass resting right in front of it as if to reveal its secrets. Beside it, a graceful heron stretches out a long neck filigreed with colorful feathers and gears, surrounded by a bluebird, a robin with vivid orange plumage, a hummingbird with wings spread wide, and a sparrow, each perched on delicate copper branches. The whole scene rests on a backdrop of vintage sheet music and torn paper in turquoise and powder pink tones, dotted with vintage buttons and tiny golden gears, with a city skyline faintly sketched in one corner. A bilingual label accompanies each bird (Owl/Hibou, Heron/Heron, Blue Bird/Merle Bleu, Robin/Rouge-Gorge, Hummingbird/Colibri, Sparrow/Moineau), a playful touch that makes it easier to spot each piece while assembling this 1000 piece puzzle.

This artwork is part of the NovIA collection, a series of images with dreamlike, detail-rich worlds. Fun fact: the hummingbird is the only bird able to fly backwards, a feat that feels even more fascinating given its mechanical wink here. Putting together a puzzle with this much detail is also known to help with focus and provide a well-deserved moment of relaxation after a long day.
