This contemporary photographic work on still life began in September 2014. It draws inspiration from the classical artistic style of 17th-century painters. Through a deliberate selection of objects, combined with meticulous staging and subtle lighting, these works reach a point of convergence between painting and photography. Creating a single image requires great attention, precision, and technical skill. Confined within a dark room, paradoxically removed from the world, abstraction becomes essential. In the manner of painters of that era, the viewer is invited to enter the photographic tableau and to establish a relationship of cause and effect between the game and the equipment presented.
A self-taught photographer, her natural curiosity for wildlife was first nurtured through veterinary studies and later through the practice of hunting since childhood. Today, this personal background, coupled with an inherent creative drive, finds expression in the creation of these hunting still lifes, where the aesthetic almost succeeds in making one forget the very purpose of hunting suggested in certain scenes.
As each screen is calibrated differently, the photographs may appear darker or less contrasted. The texture of the paper grain, moreover, is not visible.
