Form does not exist without emptiness

The relationship of the void between the built spaces is the base of my artistic approach. I draw from it a plastic and semantic material from which I build my graphic universe. It is not the faithful reproduction of the building that matters to me. While respecting its origin, its nature, its function, I seek new forms. I create tension through disparate shadows, through divergent lines to create a dynamic and harmonic balance. Architect by training, I apprehend the photographic medium following the approach of an architectural design. I analyze the place to immerse myself in its essence and try to collect a small detail without ever losing sight of the unity of the whole. Positioning myself as an observer of space, like the gaze of a wanderer immersing himself in an unknown place. The "urban topology" series attempts to alternate and mix the instantaneous gaze as seen from above to encompass everything and the successive itinerant gaze of the one who walks through this space.

Through this approach, I do not seek to make a judgment, nor a preconceived analysis on the spaces that I travel. It is a photographic essay on the

The reasons that guided me to start in the field of photography are partly enigmatic. But from the moment I had a camera in my hands, I never left it. Very quickly the possibilities offered by this reflex were there to satisfy my creativity.

Architect by training, I stopped my liberal activity in 2018 to devote myself to photography. Self-taught in photography, I spend enough time documenting myself and discovering what touches me in the photographs of great photographers. The rest of the time I photograph. Despite the little perspective that I have on my work, I manage to perceive intentions, creativity, expression that allow to make visible what my feelings and my eyes perceive.
Finally, through travel, travel, meetings, the notion of sharing remains the culmination of my work.

Black and white has established itself as a reference for my projects, knowing by a pictorial approach the color, I was too wary of the impact of color on a photo which all too often attracts the eye at the expense of the subject or the background. Black and white allows me to geometrically compose my subject which is enriched with light and an infinite range of shades of gray.
