Art, Science & Commitment
Objectives
Through my projects, I seek to provoke deep reflection on the way we inhabit this planet. Humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis - the collapse of biodiversity and climate change are having a direct impact on all forms of life. My works are a call to action, combining emotion and reason, to remind us that we have a central role to play in protecting our environment and the biodiversity on which we depend.
Biography
Photographer of water and marine biologist, I combine art and science to raise awareness of the preservation of aquatic ecosystems and freshwater resources. I founded the NGO Coral Guardian in 2012, aiming to protect coral reefs by involving local communities, particularly traditional fishermen. After more than 15 years working on the preservation of tropical corals, I turned to the protection of freshwater resources and Mediterranean ecosystems, focusing on projects from France.
My approach is based on a fusion of art and science. As a marine biologist, I draw on my knowledge to translate complex concepts into visual works. My creations combine photography and painting, addressing two main themes: coral, nature's miracle and a symbol of biodiversity, and freshwater, an essential source of life for terrestrial creatures, now threatened by human activity.
