Hybrid Animals
From an early age, I would have liked to be a lioness, a tigress, a wolf, an owl ... in order to project myself into my children's stories as others would do with heroes, for my part, myths and legends were embodied in animals. They are part of my imaginary unconsciousness that I have not stopped cultivating ever since, through tales, animal documentaries, fantastic stories, series ... Take another look at them so that they continue to make us dream for a long time even if time is running out.

entry description
In my artistic process, I like to transcend animals, to metamorphose them, to transmute them, so that they unfold into different chimeras, 100% animal or 50% animal 50% human hybrid not necessarily evolving in their environment. natural, for example the earth can be transposed in depth of the oceans to mark their belonging to a mythical world where the masculine feminine gender also merges. However, behind this aesthetic, I point the finger at the rapid and mass extinction of several species of them, tigers, white sharks, polar bears, elephants, a lot of bird species as well… Throughout of my digital photographic compositions, I aspire to reveal their souls so that they appear as the equal of man. Realize that humans will live together again in the abyss in the near future without the existence of animals. They are our wealth, our future, our resistance, let's find the alchemy, the coexistence of our two worlds by letting them evolve in their natural and wild environment and by preserving their territory, let's not continue to be selfish by stealing the essence from them. even their being, in zoos, circuses ... We will probably never know what it feels like to be in space, does that prevent us from dreaming of being able to go there one day? So contemplating them through images from books or documentaries should be sufficient for our collective imagination.about the photographer
