Patrick Dumortier

From early childhood on, I became fascinated by art, history, and ancient cultures. I studied and received an MA degree in Classics (Latin and Ancient Greek language, literature, history, archaeology) and an MA (AbD) degree in Egyptology. I have worked in several museums and universities, in an art gallery and a theatre, and in IT. Both in science, in art and in photography, I have given a number of lectures and taught several workshops. Since 2006 I dedicate all my time and passion to fine art photography, managing my "creative flow" from start to finish, from inspiration and idea to finished prints and exhibitions. In 2008 the renowned art critic and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith noticed one of my photos at an exhibition and called it “remarkable!”. Previously, some of my work has been represented by the Albemarle Gallery, Albemarle Street, Mayfair, London.
