Le dodo, ou dronte (Raphus cucullatus), est un oiseau disparu de la famille des raphidés (ordre des columbiformes). Cette espèce, vivait autrefois dans l'archipel des Mascareignes, où, du fait de l'absence de prédateurs, elle avait perdu son aptitude au vol. De la taille d'un dindon et incroyablement maladroit dans ses mouvements, le dodo grattait le sol des forêts à la recherche de fruits, feuilles, baies et graines qui constituaient son alimentation. Il pesait une douzaine de kilos et portait un plumage gris et noirâtre. Le premier renseignement sur le Solitaire ou Dodo de l'île de la Réunion est donné par le capitaine Castelon qui y aborda en 1613. Dans le récit de son voyage, il dit que l'île était couverte d'oiseaux, au milieu desquels se trouvait :

Dronte de Maurice
" Un grand oiseau de la taille d'un dindon, très gras, et avec des ailes si courtes qu'il ne pouvait pas voler ; nos hommes le tuaient avec des bâtons et des pierres. Dix hommes purent en prendre assez pour nourrir quarante hommes pour un jour".

Who is Magel?

Painter, exit amongst other things of the school of Beautiful Arts of Toulouse. The universe of its painting is largely inspired by the nature, of which it has the largest respect. It inherited her paternal grandmother, Marguerite Bigard, her taste for the color and the landscape.
Thus, rather colourist that valorist, you will practically never find "blacks" in his fabrics.

It paints with the acrylic resin, on frames of various formats, compositions inspired of its life, its experiments, its observation of our so beautiful planet as well as crossbred culture which enriched with the wire by time.
Its colors of predilection are the three primary colors, the average green and the white. Thus like a musician on a range, she likes to compose with 5 coloured notes and sharp, the ranges of colours which build little by little its final work.
Much more than one passion, painting is an almost vital need with its balance of woman and mother.

Because it believes in the division of the cultures, it proposes its models to you if you wish to acquire one of his fabrics. It puts its "knowledge to paint" with the service of the others, as a craftsman of today puts his knowledge to make with the service men.
