CREATIVE PROJECTS

My personal or contracted creative projects are all time-consuming. There are several phases to their completion. Understanding the subject, thematic research, in-depth study of how it can be dealt with, definition of objectives, design methodology, choice of artistic approach, determination of appropriate technical means, necessary resources and complete management of the project.

These creative projects have all been chosen for the high human values they transmit.

SYMBIOSIS
Personal project

The SYMBIOSE project began in 2024 an initial encounter with a Tibetan nomadic family from Qinghai, a province in north-western China. This region, slightly larger than France, consists mainly of mountains rising to over 6,000 metres in height and has been home to the Tibetan Khampa ethnic group on its high plateaus for hundreds of years. This nomadic people of yak herders, organised into small family groups, occupy part of the territory and move several times a year with the changing seasons to allow their herds to graze (often numbering more than a hundred animals per family). This series of twelve diptychs explores this symbiosis whilst depicting the natural environment in which the Khampa nomads live at this time of year.

Total project duration on place: 3 weeks. Management of the project, artistic direction and production of the photographs with large format 4×5 and 6×17 camera.

Personal project

« The beauty of the intangible, that close relationship made up of intimate feelings and extraordinary connections with our surroundings. Nature and art as great sources of inspiration.
An exciting dialogue between my deepest feelings and the beauty that can be found everywhere. I have built my own small, extraordinary “world” with tiny brushstrokes.
My “painting” will never be perfect, it changes with time, and that is where I intend to live forever, between perfections and details to be renewed, between peaceful moments and torments.
The child Roberto has realized his “dream”, his success is all there. »

Total project duration: 4 months. Production of the photographs with 35 mm film camera.

« INTIMUS » is first and foremost a total immersion in the heart of one of the most beautiful and historic beech forests in Europe, in all seasons, in all weathers, by day and by night, in search of its essence, its secrets, everything that is invisible at first sight. « INTIMUS » is also a form of personal introspection through the prism of a natural space. A journey of inner knowledge, an immersive exchange in which one’s own mind gradually merges with the place. « INTIMUS » is finally an intimate emotional connection marked by vulnerability, a gradual discovery of the luminous mirrors that illuminate our common paths.
The photographs produced are the mental translation sent back by these mirrors, my way of expressing that the wall between one and the other has broken down.

Total project duration: 24 months. Creation of an art book in a very limited edition of 30 copies. Artistic direction, writing and production of the photographs with digital camera.

The volume “Il Monferrato degli Infernot” combines in an attractive way the great professionalism of important world-famous photographers with a survey of the Infernots started in 2001 by the “Leardi” School in Casale Monferrato and completed by the Ecomuseo in co-operation with the municipalities of the territory.

The unique agricultural landscape and the buildings made of sandstone, rich in fossilized remains, are strongly influenced by the geological history of the territory and have contributed to their inclusion as the Vineyard Landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Total project duration: 2 months. Contribution to the creation of an art book and exhibition at the Castello in Casale Monferrato. Production of the photographs with black and white digital camera.

The African Visions project took place in three bush villages in the province of Yatenga in the north-west of Burkina Faso, a few kilometres from the Malian border. Benoit Beloum, a retired primary school teacher and head of the AMMIE association (Appui Moral, Matériel et Intellectuel pour l’Enfant – Moral, Material and Intellectual Support for Children), accompanied me throughout this immersion project. A tribute to Benoit, now deceased, without whom none of this would really have been possible! Of course, all the portraits were taken with the free consent of the villagers of Réko, Sonh and Rigui.
Total project duration: 2 years. Contribution to numerous exhibitions and awards. Production with a digital camera.
