THE GARDENS is a project Creation of a series offering digital prints of an iconography of human figures in the middle of imaginary gardens. This series is a continuation of my recent work in combining tapestry photo altered to brush drawings. They explore a world of overlays and colorful amalgam of plans and plots.

The project combines the one hand, geometric constructions made from photographic images of trees and plants that are colorized with the other hand, linear constructions suggesting human bodies. These drawings continue in their developments, the way I have borrowed in recent years, inspired by the ancient art of the Celts while creating affiliations with Indian art from the province.

The finished works are then directed figures inspired by traditions reflecting a harmonious relationship with nature in the middle of idealized representations of gardens. Representations inspired, in turn, oriental rugs.

The special treatment given to heads of human figures focuses on the idea of aspiration, dream or inner vision. It combines the power of the human imagination to the idea of a constantly changing nature of which we are a creative expression.
