Hello and welcome
Here are my photos, texts and videos. (The English translation is the tremendous work of Anatoly Orlovsky).
To see simply, in spite of the mind’s complexity and the wandering heart. To hear what I see and to see… Nature surprises one, like art, even more.
The beauty perceived in nature nourishes my soul; I wish to
share with you its expressions in photography. Beauty is
manifold. It is multiplied in the prism of the contemplating
eye. The pure springs of beauty reawaken the kindness that
dries up in the torments of life.
Seek out nature’s writing, colors, movements, and forms,
which inhabit me like moving skins renewed at di'erent
rhythms. Nature’s few themes give rise to a multitude of
variations, from the microscopic to the galactic.
I discover this form in the sand, sculpted by the sea, awaiting the next tide. It is already part of me. My visual findings give a special meaning to what surrounds me. This connection reveals myself as an individual, then as a member of society.
Photography enables me to fix on film my discoveries of
nature and its arts. The practice of photography sharpens the eye and shows me the living images that fascinate me. It directly connects me to nature - my Inspiration. Photography is an art of “capture” : if what I see “captures” me, it is then for me to “capture” all that I see in it.
Beauty enriches the soil of the heart.
Beauty enhances life.
