In this new approach, I wanted something airy, light. The words that came to mind were: birth, flight, lightness. I wanted life on earth and life in heaven to merge, all in joy.
These little figures, fairies and angels cross each other, while playing, gliding, in aerial acrobatics, each going to its own destination.
It's like a busy playground, but in the sky. It is the uninterrupted movement that lets us imagine and hear the joyful laughter of this childish flock.
A phrase that led me to this creation comes from James Barrie. In his book "Peter Pan", he wrote: "When the first baby laughed for the first time, his laughter broke into a million pieces, and they jumped around. This was the origin of fairies."
As I read, I visualized these pieces of laughter and the composition of this painting sprouted in my mind.
The Birth of the Fairies could also have been called the Birth of the Angels. It represents life on earth and life in heaven. It symbolizes life but also rebirth.
