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

In my garden, the Black Redstart is a faithful guest. Just like swallows, it heralds the return of spring. Every year, these lively little birds come back to nest near the house. Their delicate song fills the early morning air and accompanies my days in the studio. Over time, I’ve come to recognize each of their habits — the quick flicks of their tail, their hovering flights as they catch insects mid-air...
In this painting, I wanted to bring together three simple yet meaningful elements from our countryside: a perched Black Redstart, the graceful silhouette of thistles, and an old weathered wooden post. These aged posts, often covered with lichen, once dotted the rural landscape of the Lot region. Now replaced by modern fencing, they are slowly disappearing. And yet, they hold a timeless charm — a quiet connection to nature and to the memory of our traditional landscapes.
