Catherine loves two things more than anything else in the world: eating rustic sourdough bread and eating small green bananas. If she were on a desert island, these are the only two things she would need to be happy. Catherine also loves paintings and more particularly those of the Renaissance, so I decided to combine all these elements by making a photographic tribute to her because Catherine is also and above all my mommy...
Because I used to work on modern and near-minimalistic approach, This photography is equally the reflect of my long running studies on this themes.

Growing up in the Food universe for many years, as an authentic "foodie" I'm exploring culinary art with an eye which search beauty, things that make sense, innovative renderings and tasty things.
Plus, I started to photograph more intensively with a near-minimalist and modern approach through the fields of conceptual Food and Still Life in 2020 and I also really love representing asymmetric forms just like food's richness can reflect to.
In parallel way, my acquaintance for macrophotography is equally high and is an unaltered playground for exploring everyday textures, fascinating for sure!
