Under the effect of the rain, some silhouettes retain their integrity, but seem to have a resigned or melancholic gait, and others are torn to shreds, as if the beings were fragmenting, splitting, losing their identity. By striating and scoring this urban landscape, gray and gridded on the ground, the rain ends up enclosing the beings, limiting their hopes.

I live in Paris since 1975. I attended Sorbonne University (literature, art history). Working as editor and managing editorial projects, I had to collaborate with photographers, then to make portraits and book-covers myself (Opale Agency, Symétrie Editions). Over the last fifteen years, I’ve devoted my time to writing and photography. As to my first exhibits, dating from 2011, I owe them to Irma Toudjian (Cagliari, Italy). Today, I collaborate in Paris with Chris Boïcos Fine arts. My taste is for an esthetic of beauty – a sensitive beauty, neither cold nor futile – and for an ideal of harmony.
