Surrealist Body

This photographic project is based on my attraction to surrealist painting, in particular the work of René Magritte. His two paintings “Torse nu dans les nuages” (1937) and “Magie noire” (1945) were the first source of inspiration. This project, which is still ongoing, now includes around ten works by the artist.



Transforming human bodies into sculpted torsos and also, within the same image, depicting them in different ways offer greater freedom to develop imaginary.



The composition is minimal in favor of color, which takes sometimes center stage. Color alone can express a message, for example minimising the role of a character.



The cloud motif, so dear to René Magritte, is a major component. Depending on the image, the clouds become an enhancement to the body, a support for an element or a vector of dynamics.



In the end, photography dialogues with painting and sculpture.



Since the project began 2 years ago, multiple photographs have been selected for group exhibitions and won awards in numerous international competitions.
