I'm Philippe

I use the photo camera as a medium instead of the paintbrush, hence the concept of photographic painting.My approach is to cut out of the natural and urban landscape the canvas for my painting, which is essentially abstract in the sense that it refers to contemporary painting.It reveals the beauty of the world of shapes and colours that evoke reverie, poetic imagination and lyricism, a form of visual meditation that invites contemplation on the richness of life in all its forms.This approach is classified by theme, with abstraction in all its forms - lyrical, poetic, geometric, minimalist, or as poor art - as an essential element.The themes covered are: skies and clouds, rocks, urban or natural floors and  walls, microscopic elements in earth, water, wood & metal. My essential message is to look around you and discover that contemporary art is everywhere in the natural & urban environment, in the universe. It's a question of an enriching outside view. It's up to each of us to detect a part of it.All my photographic painting are a means of depicting an image that does not  have systematically an immediate association with the object world. It can isolate a fragment in order to create something unreal from a real object. My own main purpose is to convey a feeling, a sensation or an impression who put you in a different post of view. It draws away from natural appearances and recognisable subjects in the actualworld & sometime make ambiguity between macroscopic & microscopic view or the real scale of the view who can be discover as an abstract landscape who stimulate our own imagination.
