A certain humour to represent this seagull which knows very well that I am painting it. But it poses, unperturbed, with a certain pleasure. I enjoy painting the shades of grey of the feathers, the fineness of the legs.

I have a very special bond with these animals that are not very well liked in the cities, and I understand why. However I love them very much, even though in late spring they can be very noisy and disturb our sleep.

About ten years ago a baby gull fell out of its nest and fell in the small garden around the house where I live in Nice. Since then I have “adopted” him. His name is Jonathan, of course; how can I forget the beautiful book by Richard Bach?

Maybe this book also made me love gulls even more. How can we not admire them when they fly high with their ease and elegance? How can we not feel the thrill of freedom when we watch them? 

It has been almost 10 years and Jonathan still comes to see me, and I admit, I hide our relationship from my neighbours, to whom I could not tell… My paintings allow me however to do so. And I enjoy it.
