Capturing the Poetry of Everyday Life

The Heart of my Artworks

I grew up with my grandparents, in a house where creativity and curiosity lived side by side. My grandmother filled the rooms with drawings and embroidery, patient stitches shaping delicate worlds by hand. My grandfather, a physicist, filled the air with questions about how things worked – always seeking patterns and truths hidden beneath the surface.
From them, I inherited two ways of seeing: an artistic mind that searches for beauty, and a scientific gaze that notices the smallest detail.
At twenty, my parents gave me my first camera. What began as a birthday present soon became a companion – on long walks, during travels, in moments of silence and moments full of people. The lens became not just a tool but a friend that taught me to slow down, observe, and collect stories. Soon after, during a student exchange in France, I spent long afternoons exploring Lyon, Strasbourg, and Paris on foot, discovering colours, details, and moments that felt too beautiful to forget. France unlocked an artistic part of me, and photography became my way of pausing and celebrating the world around me, with travel becoming an unending source of inspiration.
It was still the era of 35mm film – a time that now feels distant and a little magical. Every shot mattered. Before pressing the shutter, I had to think carefully: posture, mood, light, exposure. And always the quiet calculation – would I have enough frames left to capture the journey until the 36th shot? There was also a joy that has almost disappeared today: the curiosity and impatience of waiting for the film to be developed, and the small thrill of opening the envelope to discover what had truly been captured.

Street photography, in particular, resonates with me. It is spontaneous, unpredictable, imperfect – and therefore deeply authentic. In a time when so many images are staged, polished, and scrolled past in seconds, I see value in preserving the rawness of daily life. My lens searches for people simply being themselves: walking, talking, thinking, pausing. These unguarded fragments are, to me, the most beautiful.

The Art Behind the Lens

Photography has also taught me that time is not linear – it is layered. In a single frame, I can hold a child’s fleeting expression alongside century-old architecture. The image becomes a bridge between moments, inviting the viewer into a different rhythm of seeing. It often begins with a pause: a moment when the light falls just right, or when someone’s expression speaks louder than words. Those are the instants I chase – ordinary and extraordinary at once.
After those early years with a camera, life carried me elsewhere, and photography quietly slipped into the background. It returned only recently, when I moved back to Paris. There was something about the city – its shifting light, narrow streets, and balconies and cafés humming with unspoken stories – that awakened the artistic part of me again.
Paris reminded me of what I first loved about photography back at university: the simple act of looking, of being present, of noticing the world before it passes. Now, camera in hand once more, I walk these streets with the same curiosity as before – observing, listening, collecting moments that exist only for a breath. Here, in this city shaped by history and movement, I am happily back to taking photographs and rediscovering the quiet joy of seeing.
This expo does not follow a single theme. Instead, it gathers images that resurfaced naturally over time: street scenes, landscapes, doors and windows, and black-and-white reflections. Together, they form a personal journey – an invitation to pause, wander, and rediscover beauty through colour and memory.
