Birds

As indicated before, Alexandre is realy fan of birds. He very often observe them, appreciating as an expert their agility, grace and perfection.
 

Probably having this old human dream, flying and rise in the airs freely, he even can represent birds, as if he can fly together with them.

Many of his creations are directly inherited from the photographs in these birds books on which it also discover many details concerning their life, their countries and their migrations.
He is then a known expert for family and friends who often ask some information on some just seen bird.
