Fine Art nominee

What I see and feel sometimes requires the simultaneous use of black and white and color to be expressed. The insertion of geometric shapes allows me to appropriate the image and claim it as a creation without changing the reality that I am reproducing. The cold reality of the world can become poetry. The colored square shows us a form of reality different from that in black and white but just as real and objective. The world is not one. Photography cannot circumscribe reality; bringing out two aspects of it in a single image opens up an infinite perspective.

I have been passionate about creation since I was a teenager and photography is one of my favorite arts. I lived in Moscow for 4 years without a job and photography became my first activity. I have exhibited several times in Moscow and Paris, every year since 2016. Back in France, photography has remained a very important activity for me. Whether I photograph in town or in nature, the emotion brought by the subject, the colors, the composition is essential. Secondly, each photo is reprocessed on a computer to extract what is most extraordinary. The frame in the frame allows me to add graphics to the image, to highlight the subjectivity of the photographer’s gaze. The color associated with black and white allows me to highlight certain parts of the image and make visible the time, black and white referring more easily to the past.
