About The Artwork
"Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us." Meister Eckhart Underwater sunburst shot freediving. The camera reveals light filaments that are not visible with the naked eye. This image belongs to my body of work: "Poetics of Underwater | Deep Blue Cosmos" Underwater, in the deep blue, body and mind undergo a transformation as gravity, time, spatial boundaries and directions vanish almost entirely. If one can let go most completely, this is an experience of exhilarating unity with nature, peace and freedom. From this experience there emerged, notably, Deep Blue Cosmos, a visual and poetical exploration of the striking similarities between outer space and the abyss: limitless and hostile wildernesses, light-studded spans of darkness where, free from the habitual limitations of gravity and bounded space, we can lose ourselves into sublime and inexhaustible wonder. Deep Blue Cosmos is a visual allegory of oneness. It is not merely a merging of above and below, of the cosmos and the abyss, but also of within and without. Steeped in the stillness of mind and the double focus within and without that characterise the activity of free diving, the mental division between self and nature comes to an end. For this division exists only in our thoughts. When it ceases, we become one with nature: our being enlarged, timeless and free from fear. Not only do we then begin to perceive its transcendental beauty, but we also find a way to inner peace and true wellbeing. * PAPER * The artwork is printed on Fuji Crystal Pearl premium paper which favours white tones with a metallic shimmer, and ensures rich, luminous colours with intense black tones. *FRAMING* "A dark little jewel" Double charcoal grey 4cm passe-partout and Charcoal Iron Vecchio Wooden Moulding – 20x20m with a slightly metallic appearance. The back of the framed artwork is painted charcoal grey. The picture in a description is a mockup to give an idea. I'm currently awaiting the framed artwork and will post pictures very soon.

“I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.” Anais Nin I’m in love with the deep blue of the Mediterranean sea and the clear, radiant light of the French Riviera. I love the sapphire blue expanse, the windswept azure skies, the blue flows, the blue depths, the blue mystery. The pure emotion of the colour blue: calming, silent, still, expansive. One must not look for a narrative in my work. My minimalistic, near-abstract images of the sea seek to immerse the viewer as much as possible into pure perceiving: a deep absorption into what is present to the senses without recourse to names and concepts. Done in conditions of isolation and near-complete solitude over the summer months on the coast between Cannes and Saint-Tropez (France), my work requires a state of sustained and deep contemplation of the beauty of nature. Although it is not recommended, I always dive alone, in order to achieve maximum absorption. It is also there that I'm happiest. Underwater, in the deep blue, body and mind undergo a transformation as gravity, time, spatial boundaries and directions vanish almost entirely. If one can let go most completely, this is an experience of exhilarating unity with nature, peace and freedom. From this experience there emerged, notably, Deep Blue Cosmos, a visual and poetical exploration of the striking similarities between outer space and the abyss: limitless and hostile wildernesses, light-studded spans of darkness where, free from the habitual limitations of gravity and bounded space, we can lose ourselves into sublime and inexhaustible wonder. Deep Blue Cosmos is a visual allegory of oneness. It is not merely a merging of above and below, of the cosmos and the abyss, but also of within and without. Steeped in the stillness of mind and the double focus within and without that characterise the activity of free diving, the mental division between self and nature comes to an end. For this division exists only in our thoughts. When it ceases, we become one with nature: our being enlarged, timeless and free from fear. Not only do we then begin to perceive its transcendental beauty, but we also find a way to inner peace and true wellbeing. I'm French, living both in France and in the UK.
