“What photography has to say”
" I photograph so that the favorable idea of seeing the body again by diverting it from real time ceases. To make it reborn, to relive its daily nudity in another time favorable to “who veils itself, who reveals itself”.
We must open our eyes in front of the nude which strips itself to push it to take postures duly constructed in body sculptures, so that the real face remains so in this miraculous stretch of time, to bring, reveal, transcend the part of the sublime that lies dormant within us.
Creation of nudes abandoning false modesty. The important thing is to revive them between the photographic moment and the imagination, diverting bodies from their finitude of day and night in order to transcend them into narratives praising materials such as fabric combined with painting and frescoes, murals, stone, wood glorifying their deep essences.
Constructions of endless body-memories where the sensual reveals the depths of each body becoming emblematic flesh to capture the eroticism intoning their mixed, absorbed, divinized artistic spirit.
From then on, “Regards-corps” are created which are constantly recomposed to illustrate what the nude has to say by calling on the visual arts to reinvent the cemented flesh in materials of black, white, sepia, earth color rebuilding the flesh by taking them out of their trivialized skins in order to confront them with other futures, to free them from all the prejudices that veil them, reinventing the photographic space in poetic and baroque settings, telling tales where the bodies are bewitched, imposing themselves in the photographic frame in theatrical times. Body masks, “Body-Portraits” wrapped in all forms of narratives constructed never with the same gaze but always pointing out what must be contemplated, never rewritten in the same pictorial recomposition, the same posture.
Construction of worlds praising the sublime. Worlds of daytime and nocturnal dreams of salutary escapes, of spiritual elevations, sepia which restores the earth color like an African root, black and white which plays between a blissful tragedy and what is necessary to give carnality to the infinite."
