Exhibition Peacock by Walid El Masri

Now that the cruelty encloses me, that everything weighs with infinite weight, I take refuge with the peacock, this creature I've loved since a distant time. Through it, I wanted to move away from painful events and rest for a while. With lightness and fluidity, it found its place within the painting. I often added a red dot to distract it from its surroundings. I flooded it with black to bring out its unique character, its independence. As for the large circle that appears in many of my works, it's already present in previous projects, such as 'Le disparu' or 'L'arbre.' But here, it serves to keep the peacock before my eyes, for fear it might suddenly withdraw, vanish. I understand that its only possible defense is its beauty, and its strange, painful song, like the call of a lonely man. I carry within myself a reverent 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. – Walid El Masri
