Michèle Grosjean "Ex voto pur un pigeon voyageur"

Michèle Grosjean – Ex voto pour un pigeon voyageur
Oil on canvas
With Ex voto pour un pigeon voyageur, Michèle Grosjean weaves devotion and fragility into a muted symphony of greys. The work evokes both an offering and a remembrance — a visual ex-voto dedicated to a messenger, the “carrier pigeon,” emblem of passage, loss, and return.
A single vertical form, ghostly and vulnerable, anchors the canvas. Around it, textures of ash, dust, and light conjure the residue of flight — a memory suspended between heaven and earth. Grosjean’s restrained palette heightens the painting’s spiritual resonance: matter dissolves into atmosphere, gesture into prayer.
Deeply rooted in her fascination with myth and transformation, Grosjean turns abstraction into ritual. The work stands as a silent homage to endurance and disappearance — an offering for what travels beyond reach.
