The sparrow hawk is stick, looking at the butterfly in a mist of light. This butterfly is a Melanargia galathea (marble white in english) called demi-deuil in french, which means half-mourning or "echiquier" which means chessboard. Of course, my work has been inspired by nature where I like to go watching birds and insects. But also, this work was more philosophical goal, using the symbolism of these animals. The sparrow hawk a symbol of rapacity,greediness as most of the birds of prey. As it attacks the most weakest, it can be a symbol of merciless cruelty. butterfly is symbol of immortality and at the same time it figures human soul. This painting raises the more and more recurring question of the sense of our society.

Magali Gauthier is a painter living in the east of France.
After 8 years of scientific studies, she turns completely to the arts in 2008.
Her favorite techniques are oil or acrylic painting, watercolor and drawing.
Mainly figurative, her work oscillates between the realism, the impressionism and the surrealism. She proceed as well through landscapes, daily scenes, portraits.

Her work speaks about human beings, interactions between the Man kind and the Nature. It tends to suggest the sharing of Earth, toward the future of humanity in search of harmony.

Since 2009 year in the course of which she worked on her vision of the French Riviera, she developed several themes in parallel.
In 2014, she particularly developed the theme "face à face" (between interview & confrontation) which sinks into the look of animals.
And this year, she works more particularly on trees.
