Rybka (fish) was found in one of Russian cities called Rybinsk ( a fish city) right when Lena was walking towards the train station to go back home. Rybka was very young she had only one healthy-ish leg, another one was broken, out of joint and twisted backwards, part of said leg was entangled in some kind of fishing line, and was totally black and dead. She was saved by Lena! She was adorable and chubby despite such horrible disability.
She withstood a ton of pain from her broken leg (she probably fell from nest and was hanged by her leg on a fishing line that her parents brought into the nest)
She has been living with Lena for 2 years now, she still looks like a young pigeon because of her sickness, she only has one able leg and another one is just a stub. She fights issues with feathers while thoroughly enjoying little nooks, delicious food and hiding places that are soft, she likes human attention and scratches and she is afraid of other pigeons:) “
Rybka currently lives with her human mother Lena in the city of Rybinsk (Russia).
About the artist who created this piece:
My name is Elodie Richard, I am a French artist based in Central Florida. I am a mother of four rescued pigeons, Sada, Hugo, Mathis (diamond doves) and Juju (Rock Pigeon). Pigeons have thousands of years of history intertwined with ours, they symbolize peace, faith, fidelity, love, hope and happiness. Mankind owes them so much!! The reality of their lives though and how they are unfairly rejected or mistreated by us is not so glorious for our own image as humans. How come such emotionally complex, gentle and smart creatures are nowadays so overlooked after thousands of years of service, being celebrated, honored, loved and praised all around the world and in all cultures/religions? In truth the way we treat pigeons reflect our own humanity, and maybe they are still here in our modern clearly unhappy urban lives to help us retrieve these lost values that make us good humans.
This is why I create a series of portraits that witness their unique beauty despite their handicaps or injuries. These birds incredible stories of survival and rescue deserve to be honored. Each pigeon story will be different.
Let the Pigeons show off their stories and true beauty to the world, and help them get the recognition and respect they deserve.

Elodie M. Richard was born in France but with a complex heritage including Polish and Russian. Due to her father’s career in the Army her family had to regularly move and adapt to new locations in France and abroad. Her life path as a child and adult is made of travels and regular changes of geographical locations, constantly balancing between feeling of loss, challenges and new life starts.
Unlike a superficial society that gets lost in ultra consumption, Elodie creates a refined, symbolic and meditative world around the broad notion of identity. She takes her inspirations from personal experiences but also current events and her connection to nature.
The artist currently lives in Central Florida with her husband (artist himself) and their small flock of 5 rescued pigeons.
This page shows an inventory of her work as a painter and illustrator since 2016 up to this current year.
Some of her artworks appear as sold, if interested in an art piece, please private message Elodie.
