The Mediterranean Sea - with its streams of color, its light,
its reflections - has fascinated me since I was a child. Water
continues to be the main source of inspiration. Water is constantly
changing and I seek to capture its many forms, before they
disappear, in my photography. While nature is the starting point,
abstraction is the goal. I capture the natural world only to enhance
it through careful manipulation with digital imaging software.

My multi-layered images begin with a single photo, which is
transformed and sometimes combined with other photographs.
The goal is to achieve the expressiveness of painting through the
artistic treatment of the images. Even though I never use human
figures, my photographs are ultimately more about people than
about nature.
The ripples and reflections represent ephemeral, passing
moments that can be briefly perceived by the camera or human
eye. My work is featured in art galleries in los Angeles, New
york, Florida, Italy and germany and in private collections in
North America and Europe. I live and work in Aix les bains in
the French Alps.
