Presentation

I photograph details on walls, wooden panels, metal plates on which different layers of paint have been superimposed and which time has damaged. It is always a condition.

My shots are taken in the urban sphere and in many countries. I thus extract from a rather unsightly whole a detail that my eye and my sensitivity have identified as aesthetically coherent and which, once enlarged, offers an abstract representation but in which everyone can imagine a story. This story will then evolve over time. The philosophy of my approach is to show that the beautiful exists in the insignificant and the banal as long as we are attentive and available to what surrounds us.

It is important to clarify that there is no staging at the time of shooting and subsequent retouching. The camera is the instrument of my gaze, my intuition and my spontaneity which questions but does not decide. I offer an irrational, mysterious photo that intrigues, confuses, questions.

Each print is printed by myself on fine art papers with pigment inks in limited editions of 10 ex.

The sizes range from 46 x 61 cm to 89 x 116 cm.
