Presentation of its CROMAA MOA TOA collections.

Background: I've been studying the process of abstraction for thirteen years. I like Serge Poliakoff's light, free concept: "Abstract art is like a great tree whose branches are moved by the wind". It's not a tortuous path, but rather a flight towards inspiring skies.
Timidly, I began practicing Intended Camera Movement (ICM), searching for meaning. I soon turned to the experience of painters who used photographic framing in their work to find an answer. Gradually I built up projects on the borderline between naturalism and abstraction, neither figurative nor objective. It's a dynamic process: chromatic abstraction.
For each step I took, I had to develop a new technique to support my approach. Uninterested in purely digital sensations, I persist in using light, optics and pre-digital techniques to achieve my ends. So there's always a physical object at the start of the creative process.

The latest addition to my chromatic abstractions is the all-silver CROMAA collection, whose negative film guarantees that it will not be manipulated. Since we're talking about a free art form, the constraint of what exists had to go! Don't writers and painters start from a blank page?
From now on, with the chromatic compositions (MOA and TOA collections), the basis of my work is none other than a blank white plate. Here, I create an ephemeral work of art, which I photograph at each stage of its development. This provides me with the colors, shapes and textures to which I will give final meaning through photography, a unique memory.
With compositions and abstractions, I grow two branches of the tree of photographic freedom, in reference to Serge Poliakoff. Taking photography to the frontiers of the related pictorial and plastic arts gives me infinite creative freedom
creative freedom.
