About me

ARTIST PHOTOGRAPHER FROM MARSEILLE

My photographic work is a reflection on the essence of light.
It questions that observation would impose certain limits on our perception of reality. It shows the fragility and beauty of life in a world that is constantly swirling and brutal.
During the realization of my photographs, I compose my colors, I draw my shapes and I vibrate gleams that I extract from eternal places to write from this pencil of light composed of billions of photons, celestial stories of invisible worlds on my negative or my sensor. 
My writing is direct.  It is born from the encounter of a moment fixed on the thread of timelessness between being and the universe.

Biography

I was born in Provence, and I have been lived for many years in Marseille, that I love.
Very young, my photographs, variations of light and matter, speak of our relationship to the universe.
My aesthetic choices were first oriented towards minimalist compositions and monochrome prints.

However, the advent of digital in the early 1990s marked for me a moment of questioning and questioning.
A break with photography was necessary and it gave me time to reconsider my relationship to the image and the camera.

In 2003, the desire to create photographs again to capture the timeless suddenly imposed itself on me.
Since 2013, I have been expressing myself as a visual artist and it was from the year 2016 that my efforts began to be rewarded with exhibitions and the production of an author’s book published by Corridor Éléphant.

Today, I work on this reflection on light with a very contemporary writing of the image.
I am open to any artistic project, exhibition or for any personalized order.
All my works are for sale, in limited edition, and I invite you to visit
