The grumpy Pigeon of Cap Town - South Africa
Watercolor on paper, 21x30cm; short story

Arnaud Quercy Creations / AQC0504 / 2023

In the vibrant heart of Cape Town Park, where sun rays tenderly caressed benches and trees, an aged sage wandered his ritual path. With a bag of seeds and a heart brimming with joy, he offered a daily feast to the city pigeons. Among them, a peculiar pigeon stood out, striking in beauty but sour in mood. With each complaint, it left a little dropping behind, marking its displeasure with the slow feast, the mediocrity of the grains, and the audacity of the old man sitting on its wooden throne.

The old man, facing this feathered curmudgeon, responded not with words, but with a gesture of kindness, scattering seeds with a smile full of tenderness. Each grumble was met with angelic patience, each squeak with a discreet chuckle. As days passed, the grumpy pigeon, while continuing to grumble and leave its little marks, gradually drew closer to the elderly man. An unlikely bond blossomed between them, amidst cackles and shared laughter. Eventually, the pigeon, though still grumpy, ceased its little signs of discontent, a clear indication of a sincere friendship that had woven into their hearts.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

France

Multidisciplinary Artist with a solid foundation in music and an overflowing passion for visual arts. My artistic journey, characterized by a smooth transition from classicism to abstraction, from digital to real, musical or visual, explores traditional mediums or technology as vectors of movement, exploring temporality and immersion. Often inspired by music theory, philosophy, or humanism, I create visual artworks that resonate with harmony and poetry.
