“DYED FOR FUN. DYING FROM POISON”(16x20 inches poster) © Elodie M. Richard, All Rights Reserved
Artwork created with assistance from AI technology under the artist’s direction. All posters in defense of the pigeons were created by Elodie M. Richard, based on her original ideas and artistic direction. AI tools were used solely to assist in visualizing these concepts.

This poster denounces a disturbing trend that has been spreading in silence: the cruel and senseless practice of dyeing pigeons in bright, unnatural colors for human amusement, ceremonies or aesthetic appeal.

Often sprayed or dipped in toxic substances, these birds are not willing participants in a spectacle. Their feathers—designed by nature to regulate temperature and offer protection, become coated with chemicals that burn their skin, blind their eyes, and poison their bodies. What is momentary entertainment for some becomes a slow death for these gentle beings.

Pigeons are not toys. They are sentient beings capable of deep bonds, intelligence, and feeling. Behind the paint lies suffering, fear, and a life being extinguished.

This is not art. This is not fun.
This is animal abuse and animal cruelty, disguised in color. No animal should ever suffer for human amusement.

Elodie M. Richard was born in France but with a complex heritage including Polish and Russian. Due to her father’s career in the Army her family had to regularly move and adapt to new locations in France and abroad. Her life path as a child and adult is made of travels and regular changes of geographical locations, constantly balancing between feeling of loss, challenges and new life starts. 

Unlike a superficial society that gets lost in ultra consumption, Elodie creates a refined, symbolic and meditative world around the broad notion of identity. She takes her inspirations from personal experiences but also current events and her connection to nature.
The artist currently lives in Central Florida with her husband (artist himself) and their small flock of 5 rescued pigeons.

This page shows an inventory of her work as a painter and illustrator since 2016 up to this current year. 

Some of her artworks appear as sold, if interested in an art piece, please private message Elodie.
