My approach.
Painting has a major influence on my photographic work, in particular painters such as Hopper, Peter Klasen, or Dali led me to an intellectual and plastic reflection concerning the evolution of my photos. The sometimes saturated colors, the play of light, the contrasts, the use of black and white, the staging, create a dreamlike atmosphere which wants to provoke emotion, confusion by challenging the spectator to question his own dreams, fantasies, fears, or frustrations. It is through self-knowledge that Man can hope to access his truth.
The essential question that arises is the calling into question of objectivity. To sum up, I would say that only our mind constructs its own truth.
Each photograph is no longer just a simple shot, it is a symbolic story, designed and thought out.
The two recurring themes in the theme of my work are the existential loneliness of Man, but also his quest that could give meaning to life.
