Description from the seller
Michel Pinel (1949 – 2022)
Title: Reflections - 2006
Original silver gelatin print on baryta paper, hand signed
Dimensions: 30 x 24 cm
Condition: Excellent
Sale: No reserve price
Provenance:
Directly from the family collection of the photographer, who passed away in 2022. This is a rare original print realized in the artist’s own studio.
Michel Pinel, Réflexions, 2006
Silver gelatin print
In Réflexions, Michel Pinel masterfully layers reality and illusion through double exposure and reflections. The nude female figure, partially submerged with visible freckles and intense gaze, merges with water, light patterns, and architectural echoes, creating a poetic and dreamlike composition.
The image plays with transparency, fragmentation, and sensuality, showcasing Pinel’s refined technique in chiaroscuro and his deep exploration of the female form as both intimate and abstract. This rare 2006 baryta print exemplifies his signature elegance and technical mastery.
Artist Biography
Born in 1949, Michel Pinel discovered photography in Milan under the guidance of director Paul Casalini, who introduced him to the medium and inspired his lifelong passion. He began his career in fashion photography, quickly developing a distinctive style characterized by technical rigor and a pursuit of purity in image-making.
Pinel’s artistic focus gradually shifted toward the nude, a subject he explored with sensitivity and elegance. His silver gelatin prints, meticulously crafted in his studio, are renowned for their exceptional quality.
Internationally recognized, his works have been exhibited widely and are housed in private collections across Australia, Belgium, Spain, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United States.
