title
PAPOUASIE NOUVELLE GUINEE
The Papuans, especially those of the mountains, have brought to a very high level the art of body ornaments. Natural pigments, plants, shells and especially feathers of wild birds, participate in these demonstrations of beauty, highly codified, often accompanied by powerful dances and songs. Attending one of these dances is a chance not to be missed.
His meeting with the tribes from Omo to Ethiopia, the landscapes of the Antarctic continent or even the animals from South Africa are an elegy to a world that is in the process to disappear.
His series "D'Ébène et d'Abîme" in Black and White, on Resilience, exhibited in New York in 2013, at the Darkroom Gallery in 2014, at Mark Hachem Gallery in Beirut in 2015 is undoubtedly another highlight of his work.
His approach and capture of light, which he learned at the studios Harcourt in Paris, are a signature. He likes to say that the only one true way is the one you make within yourself. Being the official photographer of the Opéra de Nice allows him to continue this inner way....
Passionate, he created in 2014 with his wife, a gallery dedicated to theart photography in Nice, the Darkroom Gallery. In permanent research of creative perspectives, the gallery offers through its exhibitionstemporary, a
selection of photographs in limited editions.
His series "Signature Gestuelle" takes a different look at Dance, a look that is his own, a work on the body signature of the dancer, essential to Choreographic Art.
His exceptional shooting with "Maikos" in Japan in the spring great artists of delicate and mysterious beauty in the last century.
Service of a modern Japan, faithful to its secular traditions, given a delicate series, highlighted by an impression on a unique Japanese paper.
The portraits brought back last summer from Papouasir New Guinea where he
met distant tribes that live in total autarchy and with whom he has experienced very strong moments of emotion.
