The Wisdom Once upon a time, a long time ago, Hidden in a forest, a gathering I saw. A first voice said: "Think before you speak", Then another prayed: "Beware of the words recite", A third voice finally, sang this litany, "Doubt your eyes, which thinks they cognise ». As soon as these laments faded away a more intense voice immadiatly convey : "I only advise to encourage to abstain, No one can aid, within yourself you must attain."

I draw my inspiration from painting, particularly from the Symbolist, Art Nouveau, and Pre-Raphaelite movements. Conceived as pictorial works, my photographs, sometimes dark, sometimes luminous, have a philosophical or psychological background through the use of archetypes and symbols. Whether through the exploration of a myth, questioning our relationship with nature and beauty, or even questioning our beliefs, there is also a passionate desire hidden in these photos to re-enchant the world and give meaning to our reality.
