Behind the scene : What I want to share with you, as an artist.

Flamingos are instantly recognizable by their soft pink plumage and elegant, stilt-like legs. These iconic birds are deeply tied to brackish coastal wetlands, and I’ve had the joy of watching them in the Camargue. There, large colonies move together in a quiet rhythm, stirring the lagoon’s floor with their feet and filtering the water with their curved beaks in search of tiny shrimp—the source of their remarkable coloration.

Yet despite their grace, flamingos face growing threats. Expanding urban development is steadily reducing their resting and breeding grounds. Their nesting colonies are extremely sensitive to disturbance; even minor disruptions can lead to the failure of an entire reproductive season. On top of that, climate instability poses another danger: during harsh winters, freezing conditions can claim the lives of dozens, even hundreds, of birds.

In this painting, I chose to depict a flamingo in a serene moment—just as it curls its neck and tucks its head gently into its feathers for rest.

“And the sea tolerates only the shadow
Cast by birds with wings outstretched.”
— Guillaume Apollinaire, 1918 (adapted translation)
