Mistral Azur

Combining photography and mixed media, I recreate the sense of wonder I felt as a child in the South of France. I sculpt light into vibrant landscapes, evoking a feeling of joy where the medium transforms everyday life into a sun-drenched vision.

In the project Mistral Azur, I explore light, colour and form to create mental landscapes of the environment in which I grew up, in the south of France: a sun-scorched land of vivid colours. This project draws on a sense of wonder linked to childhood, an intuitive and sensitive way of looking at the world. The images become living, almost tactile spaces, where solar joy and intimate perception intermingle. My work lies at the intersection of photography and painting. Starting with images of everyday life, I intervene directly on the photographic surface through painting, collage or digital manipulation, in order to evoke a sensation. I try to create an emotion through texture, depth, brilliance and porosity. I seek to convey a vibration, that of light, colours, memories and the subtle emotions that permeate ordinary places and moments. Through the textures and colours of these large-format works, the viewer can immerse themselves, move through the images and feel this luminous energy, this ‘hum’ of reality that permeates my surroundings.
