ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

My approach consists in transforming my photographs into paintings which are then mounted on canvas and become the principle of working with materials to return to the earth, to the first essence. Inks, ochres, pigments, structural mortars, paints, ... so many materials to sublimate and represent in colors and shapes the energy of this sovereign animal that is the elephant. A tribute to the land and to the anchoring force that moves us and that we feel in the presence of these majestic mammals. And to all the heavens placed on earth by their mere presence.

These paintings, like fragments of landscapes, oceans, archipelagos, land seen from the sky, volcanic expanses, galaxies, exposed to natural light, become, with the lights off, through the use of phosphorescent paint, starry sky vaults.

Visual artist and photographer of the intimate. Through an approach that is both sensual and dreamlike, from landscape to self-portrait, from dream to reality, I use different media to express my art.
