"Les oeuvres vives" ("The vivid works") (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"Go to the discovery of what we do not see...
The way was open in this fishing port.
I walked in.
On this part of the port of Nazaré, a world has been revealed.
That of the living works, those that we do not see, installed under the waterline, immersed.
Those essential to the boat, essential to its navigation.
These works caught my eye and offered me their ephemeral beauties: paintings, drawings created by the waves, algae and shells, a little also by the hands of men.
They tell their stories, just for a moment, a few days, a few weeks...
And then go back to hide under the sea to come back, later, with other stories."
The vivid works (submerged parts of the boat) are a source of inspiration. Depending on the framing and light, they make it possible to create paintings where colors oppose, unite and draw, sometimes, elements of reality. Everyone can then appropriate these images and decipher them according to their sensitivity.

AUTHOR
Self-taught photographer-author of 51 years, I have already realized many individual and collective exhibitions in my region.
My universe and my work are totally influenced by my favorites and my desires. Photographs of travel, street, landscape or abstract, mark my course. This creative expression allows me to express my feelings and my perception of the world around me.
Some exhibitions realized:
- Solo exhibition "Jahkarlo Saint Louis of Senegal", series on the city of St Louis of Senegal, in Mordelles, outdoors (large formats) - from January to September 2022
- Collective exhibition "Regards d'ailleurs", a series of portraits of foreign students, exhibited in the subway of Rennes;
- "Their horizon", a series dedicated to Mauritania, exhibited as part of the Festival Image Publique and at the Maison Internationale de Rennes for the Festival des Solidarités
- "Engagements pluri'elles", a series of portraits of women, exhibited at the Maison des associations in Rennes as part of Women's Rights Month.
