The red bird
The Red Bird is a particularly textured oil painting, where the material itself gives an emotional depth to the work. In the center, a "sad monster" in golden, almost luminous hues, sits, his head tilted on his shoulder. His golden color and the light reflecting on him evoke a comforting presence despite his melancholic expression.
In front of his other shoulder, an abstract red bird hovers quietly, floating in an atmosphere of lightness. This bird, both mysterious and soothing, represents an intimate part of the character, like an emotion or a desire for liberation. The red color of this bird is particularly significant: it symbolizes vital energy.
The contrast between the golden hues of the monster and the red of the bird underlines this idea of duality: the red bird could be the manifestation of an intense emotion that the character keeps within himself, which he contemplates while letting it fly away gently.
The red bird thus suggests that this bird represents both the strength and the fragility of this emotion, an energy that must be released to find a certain inner peace.
