My work is a visual meditation on the invisible bonds that nourish the human soul. It unfolds across still life, portraiture, and street photography, invariably exploring the themes of anchoring, love, and human connection in the face of contemporary alienation. In still lifes, I forge a singular aesthetic that fuses the formal simplicity of Minimalism with the emotional depth of the Baroque. My still life compositions are often characterized by a masterful use of chiaroscuro and the delicate tones of Pictorialism, lending my subjects a lyrical and timeless resonance.
In an era marked by a worldwide endemic of solitude, where our interconnections are often more virtual than tangible, and artificial intelligence blurs the lines of reality, my work poses an essential question: what place do we wish to grant to the invisible bonds that truly nourish our souls?
Project Statement
My artistic vision is rooted in the conviction that art must first and foremost be a catalyst for inner reflection. It is a profound act aimed at nourishing the gaze, enriching thought, and stimulating sincere dialogue. In an era defined by speed and distraction, I seek to create images that demand stillness, inviting the viewer to engage in the narrative process in a way that is both intimate and deeply personal.
This quest is guided by the philosophy of Minor White, who urged us to photograph objects “not only for what they are, but also for what else they are.” I transform the silent poetry of the everyday into a visual diary. This approach acts as a powerful counterpoint to modern solitude, offering a search for anchoring and authentic connection that grounds my work in a Modernist sensibility while honoring the pictorialist and painterly tradition.
This series titled « Poem for fragile things » photographic series explores the beauty and vulnerability of existence through a minimalist and poetic lens. At the heart of this work, the rose and water act as powerful symbols. The rose, a classic still-life motif, embodies beauty in its ephemeral life cycle. Water, with its distorted reflections and waves, represents introspection, the passage of time.
Each image is a pure composition that invites contemplation. The pictorialist treatment lends the shots a softness and dreamlike atmosphere, transforming reality into a subjective, lyrical vision.
This series is a humanistic, poetic narrative that questions the individual’s place in the passage of time.
