Seascape nominee

The Atlantic coast in France, with its endless horizons and tranquility, has always been a source of inspiration. These are attempts to capture the essence and serenity of these unique places, blending realism and abstraction. These is an invitation to contemplation, where time seems to stand still, and humanity dissolves into the grandeur of nature. The series on oceanic landscapes elicit emotions through the combination of the real and the abstract. In some of the photographs, the fields of mysteriously deep colors created by nature recall the work of masters like Rothko. In others, the oceanic landscapes appear to spill beyond the confines of the photograph's frame, combining variations in the water's surface with more or less defined horizons, prompting questions about timelessness and evoking the works of Hiroshi Sugimoto
All pictures from this series were taken exactly from the same place
