NOTE CRITIQUE :

In this composition, the artist plays with the opposition between the vulnerability of nudity and the strength of a frontal, almost hypnotic gaze. The choice of high-contrast black and white, with intentionally pronounced grain, places the work in a timeless “noir” aesthetic. The model is nestled in a wingback chair that acts as a protective and monumental frame. The gesture of the hands, delicate and suspended, adds narrative tension to the image. The absence of a superfluous setting allows focus on the expressiveness of the face, whose features recall the elegant austerity of icons of contemporary Gothic culture. A work where silence becomes visual.

The print on Epson Archival Mat 189 gsm paper is a deliberate choice for this work. This matte medium, completely without reflections, offers blacks of velvety depth and faithful reproduction of the silver grain. It gives the photograph a physical presence and exceptional durability for discerning collectors.

Limited series to only 30 copies worldwide. Copy: Number 1/30 (The very first print of the series).
Digital signature of the artist integrated into the print + COA. UNFRAMED - PRINT ONLY - SOLD WITHOUT FRAME

Born in Switzerland in 1996, the artist developed an early passion for photography. He later formalized his approach by pursuing university studies in photography and was quickly recognized by his peers, winning several prizes for the quality of his work.

The artist defines himself as an eclectic photographer, but his work focuses mainly on two distinct domains: artistic nude photography and motorsports.
In his work around the female figure, he seeks to capture the essence of beauty that is wild and raw and a serene harmonious stillness. His goal is to highlight these subtle contrasts through the development of dedicated photographic series.

The artist presents his work on his website and typically organizes about one solo exhibition per year to share his latest creations.

"The photographer aims to explore the body in its natural environment, seeking authenticity and emotion rather than mere aesthetics." U.G.
