BIOGRAPHIE
La photographie entre dans sa vie en 1993, à l’âge de 16 ans, en première année d’Arts Appliqués à Lyon. C’éST l’histoire d’une rencontre, d’un éveil, d’une découverte de soi, des autres et du monde.
Une activité de passion, exercée en parallèle de son métier d’architecte d’intérieur, qu’elle exerce à partir de 1999.
Toutes ses images sont capturées lors de ses pérégrinations, en métropole et en Guadeloupe, toujours au cœur d’un milieu naturel, dans le respect de la faune et de la flore, puis retravaillées à travers différentes techniques photographiques et artistiques. La découverte de l’école caravagesque à l’âge de 16 ans marque une influence sur la plupart de son œuvre.
Plantes, animaux, mer, la mise en valeur de chaque sujet par l’utilisation du clair-obscur, la recherche de la lumière qui humanisera par son éclat un regard animal, réveillera la vivacité des couleurs d’une fleur, créera une texture sur la crête d’une vague ou mettra en lumière le mystère d’une nature indomptable et fascinante, aux mille facettes. Une nature aux représentations infinies et à la fois unique, et toujours authentique.
“L’art est un champ d’exploration infini…”
“Photography entered my life in 1993 in the first year of applied arts in Lyon.
An activity of passion, practiced in parallel with my profession as an interior designer, which I will exercise from 1999.
In 2018, The Shift. Installation in Guadeloupe. It’s outside our comfort zone that the magic lies…
Solitude – Isolation – Contemplation – Introspection
3 years of photographic wanderings with light and nature as raw materials.
My curiosity leads me to explore different photographic and artistic techniques, through different series.
At the end of 2021, return to mainland France with 6 major collections, each composed of 1 or 2 series.
I deepen my knowledge, I get involved and I share my values and my beliefs.
The protection of nature, the animal cause, the unvarnished expression of emotions.
Passion wins, I become professional.
My contemporary series “Abrasion”, Light – Colors – Earth and Sea, mixed media, photography and digital art breaks down the spectrum of white light reflected on the surface of the water in different places and at different times of the year.
The Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, rivers, lakes, ponds.
A colorist’s look, inspired by the Fauvist school in its sensitivity and Newton in its technicality.
This series has a double meaning, the first being to extract the moving and infinite beauty of nature, often invisible to the naked eye.
And the second meaning is found in its name.
The term “abrasion” echoes that of “corrosion”.
This series sounds like gnashing of teeth in the face of the degradation of our nature, even in very remote places, as I was able to observe during my years spent in Guadeloupe.
This series was born there in 2019, on Babin beach in Morne à l’eau, at sunset.
This series is available in four-color printing on transparent plexiglass in window stickers.
his contemporary support which faithfully transcribes the colors and luminosity captured through the lenses of my lens, itself becomes an additional lens adding a slight depth to the image.
A light and its colors, captured through a succession of lenses, of which the diaphragm of the viewer’s eye becomes the ultimate actor.”
