Maguy Lentini

Always passionate about the image, I have been a self-taught photographist since 2011. The photographic camera and digital art have this capacity to reveal what the naked eye will not perceive. They are here only a median to reach the imaginary, another real or the surreal according to our desires. I first tried to capture a drop of water or a simple bubble in order to paradoxically represent the infinitely large. Then I imagined how we could see the world by taking our place in this space that I call "bullaire". I am drawn to the round shapes that testify to fertility and the origin of life. It is in this universe that I seek the invisible possible, the imaginary journey which tells us so much of what we are, of what we cannot see and which nevertheless exists. In this space, there are stars in their eyes and dreams in their heads, unless it is the opposite! By working on reflections that I add digitally, I bring this impression of instability in space and time. It reminds us that everything can change from one moment to the next. The preciousness of life is important in my designs. Any photo or image also suggests an escape at that moment, to go somewhere else and remind us of the strength of our own choices. The whole is often dreamlike, even naive in the aesthetic, while transmitting a strong message. The field of possibilities is infinite and depends only on us!
