New works and motifs in my online shop

New works and motifs in my online shop. All new works are physical and original in contrast to my digital dowload works which are already available in my shop which can be downloaded directly

The works presented in this shop are a little different from my other general works that I create as a visual artist. The motifs are more colorful and include a wide range of styles and motifs. From abstract to figurative, from monochrome to very colorful. Including nude, urban and nature motifs. In addition, the preferred representation of the subjects of most of my works are in square and round formats, just to make them a little distinctive and individual. Finally, the scale and size of the physical/original works fall into the miniature category, none of the square formats are larger than 20 x 20 cm or 30 x 21 cm for the rectangular formats.

About the work "R.5"

A composition and compilation of sounds of animals, birds, insects, flowing rivers, wind, distant thunder, forest, rain forest, rain and raindrops hitting plants and ground. Back and forth in rhythm before it starts to rain, the moments in the rain and after the rain.

LUSTED MEN Book

 One of my photographic works entitled “By The Lakeside I” from my ongoing portfolio A State of Bared is published in the book LUSTED MEN

Where are the erotic photographs of men? Once we become aware of this question, it is difficult not to realize the absence of these images in our visual culture. Because if women, their image and their bodies are too often sexualized and eroticized, those of men are rather absent. Another story of domination of the heterosexual male gaze that would like to dictate our desires and our representations since always! So in 2019, a small group of women came together around this question. Photographers, researchers, art workers, feminist activists, and they said to themselves that we would launch a collection to invite everyone to photograph men and explore the political power of eroticism. This year 2024, part of this participatory photographic collection is for the first time brought together in a magnificent photo book signed LUSTED MEN. With more than 700 photos, accompanied by a selection of testimonies, a manifesto of the collective, an anthropological study, a text retracing the history of the LUSTED MEN community and an afterword written by our sponsor @maiamazaurette. In short, the book Lusted Men is a feminist photographic investigation, at the crossroads of art, research and visual activism.

About “all the sadness to be”

Memory, grief and resilience. We also understand memory as a complete function, formed by two contradictory elements that include remembering and forgetting. One of the questions that we strive to articulate with you is to think about the limits between both elements of memory and forgetfulness. Does memory really exist? Or is it a subconscious action as a way to avoid remember a traumatic event? How do we remember? Do we remember through our senses or through our body? Is remembering a perception of the mind or the heart? What is remembering one more time?
