MALLIÉ VINCENT MALLIÉ THE QUEST FOR THE TIME BIRD - BEFORE THE QUEST L'Omégon (T.8), Black And White Original illustration for a bookplate of the deluxe edition to be published in 2025. Signed. Watercolor and colored inks on paper 46 × 61 cm (18.11 × 24.02 in.) "This image was inspired by a scene in the last volume, when Mara and Bragon reach the ruins of the Omega. It will be the bookplate for the deluxe edition of the album published by Black & White. Here again, I was looking for something contemplative, with the light at the end of the day, the birds circling in the background and Mara, in a position of dominance, carrying the seed in her hand. It was important for me to place Bragon in the background, in the position of observer. I know that one of the motifs that often recurs in my drawings is the wind in the fabric of a dress. I love the volume created by a breeze. And then there's my pleasure in adding colorful elements to the decor, enriching the composition and making the eye sparkle. They can be red butterflies, or birds, as here. These simple specks bring vibrations and give the impression of depth thanks to the contrast of colors."
