I started this series of baby dinosaurs at the birth of my second child, my daughter Pallas.

It is on one hand connected to the very powerful nature of her character but also with the intention of breaking with the mainstream and vulgar representation of dinosaurs that I have known since childhood such as in mainstream movies like Jurassic Park or plainly in museums or books that represent them as monsters or aggressive  creatures in the most stupid way and that are an insult to those animals that had feelings just as animals have. 

​

Not only it is stupid but it is destructive because it separates us from our History as Humankind on this planet.

The representation of creatures in such ways alters our connection to our history as human beings. Connecting with those creatures was also part of the work. I used two images from the National Geographic as a model for this work.

​

The idea was to represent these big giant babies in gestation as very gentle and kind like any other creatures of the animal Kingdom and break with the common representation that we also find in Archeology and in Prehistory when it comes to the representation of what Humans used to look like or be or the animals they were surrounded by.

Our ancestors connected to Nature and were not separate from it. Animals were not represented as aggressive or as  a threat. The representation in our modern days in museums of these animals that have the ambition of transmitting scientific knowledge is the proof of complete failure in the understanding of the lives our ancestors.

Taming the representation of those creatures is also part of a personal process in taming my own connection to the history of our Universe.
