” The belief that one’s own view of reality is the only real one is the most dangerous of all delusions. In fact, what exists are different versions of reality, some of which may be contradictory, and all of which are ‘the effect of communication’ and not the reflection of objective and eternal truths. “

How Real Is Real?, Paul Watzlawick, Random House ed., 1976.

The iMAGIES URBAINES, art photography with cubist and futuristic touches, seek to reveal a different reality of our “ultra-urban” environments, with their rationalized and standardized spaces in which we are led to live in increasing numbers and to seek there, like Alejo Carpentier, a little bit of wonderful reality!

Through the eyes and personal vision that they carry within them, the iMAGIES URBAINES seek to deconstruct the obvious in order to make sensitive and therefore possible a different relationship to the world around us.

Check out my latest news and the latest creations from iMAGIES URBAINES below, and don’t hesitate to follow me on my Instagram account.

February 2025 – New themes, new galleries, new photographs!

The iMAGIES URBAINES website has been expanded with new texts to better explain the artistic process behind the creation of the different works presented and the logic behind them. To accompany this essential update and make it more visible, a new organisation around centralised themes, themselves divided into series, has been adopted.

To mark the occasion, the theme of ‘Découpages Urbains’ has been added to the URBAN iMAGIES, the result of recent work and reflection on the use of our urban space and the way in which it is viewed.

Enjoy your visit!
