Now that cruelty grips me, that everything weighs down with infinite heaviness, I find refuge with the peacock, this creature I have loved since ancient times. Through it, I wanted to distance myself from painful events, and rest for a while. With lightness and fluidity, it found its place inside the painting. I often added a red dot to distract it from its surroundings. I flooded it with black to highlight its unique character, its independence. The large circle that appears in many of my works is already present in earlier projects, such as The Vanished or The Tree. But here, it helps keep the peacock in front of my eyes, for fear it may abruptly retreat, vanish. I understand its only possible defense is its beauty, and its strange, painful song, like the call of a lonely man. I carry within me a reverential fear before this sacred creature, present in the stories of the ancients and their legends. But, whether it represents the Angel or the Demon par excellence, the peacock remains a peacock.
