Description
Watercolor on 300g Fontaine paper, 20 x 40 cm of a mallard duck feather
"In Greek mythology, Esacus or Ésacos (in ancient Greek Αίσακος / Aísakos, in Latin Aesacus) is the son of Priam and Arisbe.
He received the gift of interpreting dreams from his maternal grandfather Mérops at a very young age. So when Hecuba, then pregnant with Paris, dreams that she gives birth to a flaming brand which sets fire to the city of Troy, Esacus responds that the unborn child will be the cause of the ruin of the city and advises her execution.
Later, Esacus' beloved wife, Hesperia, dies bitten by a snake, and mad with grief, he commits suicide by throwing himself into the sea. Tethys, out of pity, changes him into a water bird."
(Some translations specify diving, others only duck)
Presentation
- Plastic artist
More than twenty years ago now, an artist friend during a walk cut a branch of forsythia attacked by galls from a hedge, telling me that it could be a good subject to paint.
So I took out my brushes and my school paints and reproduced the branch quite clumsily. But the virus took hold, pushing me to paint and progress. My scientific training and observational drawing help me a little for line, time and practice for color.
For ten years, I have accepted the idea of showing my work which revolves mainly around botany, zoology with often a suggested or even suggestive double reading.
I have a personal museum of curiosities which serves as a database for the production of my images.
I mainly use watercolor as a medium but also the repurposing of engravings, objects and photography.
