Sayaka Ikemoto Never have I seen such a beautiful abstract art than this photo and I love it because it’s a natural scene. Nothing is disturbing in the background, the flamingos in perfect balanced positions and the colors strict to basically just two, (we can see it as just pink and black, or pink and white, as black and white can be uncounted as color) makes it have the most simple but the deep beauty.
Greater Flamingos are taking off from a wild lagoon of the St Martin island, based in Southern France. Almost white in summer, their plumage becomes flamboyant, with a very pink color during winter time, to attract their future partner. Thanks to the natural beauty of this French colorful area, which never ceases to amaze my pupils and together, with my aerial shot, I like creating a confusion between reality and illusion, photography and painting, to push the boundaries of form and color, to make photos appear as "painting-like" as possible.
