“L’oiseau bleu” was inspired by the extravagance of the Rococo period. Prior to painting my mood was light-hearted so I knew I had to include the bluebird as a symbol of happiness. After doing some research on the bluebird I came across some of the first fairy tales ever written by Madame d’Aulnoy. Her tale “L’oiseau bleu” centres around the beautiful, kind-hearted Florine. All is done to prevent her from marrying her Prince Charming who is cruelly turned into a bluebird. My painting is a tribute to the tale and the strong hold love can have over one’s heart.

Banksias in a silver ornate metal vessel casting a shadow on a wooden tableBlue petunias in pot with purple lamp and blue satinStill life contrasts with our lives today which are dynamic, moving and constantly shifting, so there is definitely a strange irony in my work. I’m trying to suspend time, but it is still a reminder of our mortality, transience, and that things will fade and pass. Time becomes precious.
