Born from a personal request from my mother to paint the white magnolia, Dream (夢) captures a moment of magic outside La Samaritaine in Paris. Witnessing the tree in full bloom at night—its white petals shining with an almost supernatural glow beneath the moonlight—inspired this luminous exploration of contrast. One of only 20 prints worldwide.
In the composition, white pigeons marked with subtle touches of black rest amidst translucent petals, anchored by the silhouette of a Haussmann building below. Here, the deep shadows of the Parisian night exist only to illuminate the pure, noble beauty of the blossoms. Dream is a homage to quiet nocturnal wonder and the enduring warmth of maternal love.
The Technique: To capture the feeling of handmade craftsmanship, this print is produced on 250g Japanese Washi. The heavy, textured fibers of the washi give the airy subject matter a physical weight. Printed via the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100, the pigments in 12 different colors ensure that the pigeon's nuanced expression remains with color depth. It is also retouched digitally to maintain sharpness in some parts of the painting.
Provenance: Includes a Certificate of Authenticity
Shipping & Packaging: Your print is handled with the utmost care. It is shipped in 3 layers of flattened envelopes to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.
Une ode à la poésie
Merci Ryuku pour cette oeuvre d'art pleine de poésie. Hâte de la mettre sous cadre dans ma piece à thé, pour qu'elle m'accompagne dans chacune de mes cérémonies.
L'atmosphère qui s'en degage, les couleurs, le regard du pigeon... Je l'adore !

Un immense coup de cœur pour cette œuvre ! La composition est splendide et la poésie qui se dégage de ce pigeon au milieu des magnolias est magique. Intégrer l'architecture parisienne dans ce style japonais est une idée géniale. Le rendu sur papier washi est top, bravo !

Merci beaucoup, Benjamin! C'est avec mon plaisir de t'avoir mon œuvre chez toi :)
I've been eyeing this particular piece for several months, and when I found out it would finally be available in print I had to get it. It is beautifully drawn in a style that is quite unique, especially when considering pigeon art. A tasteful display or our shared affection for pigeons.

Merci Tatsuya! On peut discuter si tu veux la peinture originale hihi
À travers cette œuvre, on croit entendre le frémissement des ailes d’un oiseau, percevoir le silence de la nuit, respirer le parfum des fleurs et voir la lumière se diffuser avec une infinie délicatesse. Plus encore, c’est la voix de l’artiste qui semble traverser la matière même de l’image pour entrer en dialogue avec le spectateur.
