It is on the seaside in the West of France, just a few kilometers from La Rochelle and more precisely in the church Sainte-Madeleine of Châtelaillon-Plage, that the artist from Lille came to put down his suitcases for two months at the beginning of the year 2020.

It is at the request of the city, owner of the church and at the initiative of the project as part of the restoration work of the building, that Amaury Dubois imagined and designed a work of art respecting both the spiritual dimension of the place, as well as the singular and colourful identity of the seaside resort that is Châtelaillon-Plage.

Usually used to the canvases he covers with his curved and colourful creations, Amaury Dubois took up the challenge to create a unique and custom-made fresco of 600m², covering the entire vault of the church to its choir, including the stained-glass windows. A major artwork for the artist, as his fresco became one of the largest works ever created in a church in France!
