Inspired by a poem by Theodore Stephanides

Epitaph to a Parrot

For thirty years he talked in feathered pride
  For thirty years he talked before he died.
  You say that parrots do not really know
The meaning of the words they speak?  Just so,
  I grant you that you may be right - but then,
                            Do men ?

Epitaphe pour un Perroquet

  Pendant trente ans; il a parlé avec fierté.
Depuis trente ans, il a parlé avant de mourir.
Vous dites que les perroquets ne connaissent pas vraiment
  le sens des mots qu'ils parlent ?  Justement,
Je vous accorde que vous pouvez avoir raison - mais alors,
                                       Les hommes ?

Mireille Rolland, born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After a study trip in Europe, a few years in Rome, Italy, she decides to choose France as second homeland. She now lives in the beautiful city of Lyon. Influenced by french and italian painting, her style is modern-figurative. To the technic inspired by Braque, she brings the unusual fineness of a geometry with softened angles mixed with the use of subtle colors. Her painting is an invitation to dream, to sensuality, a privileged moment of peace and serenity. Oil painting on canvas where the line remains as simple as possible and the festival of colors invites you to a very joyful celebration. And, as Georges Braque would say: "There is in art only one thing worthwhile; the one we can't explain....." Through the art of painting, my aim is to create in you an aesthetical emotion.. ....
