Many artists consider that their works should speak for themselves.
Even though these artists are not totally wrong, I assure you that talking about your work and knowing how to do so is more than necessary.
Because it’s something you will have to do sooner or later.
Let’s imagine the following…
I started creating staged photographs when I was a student.
Imagining the story, sketching it, directing the models, taking the final photo…it was so exciting! It quickly became my favourite type of photography.
When I visit exhibitions, I often notice that staged photography isn’t as widespread, and, perhaps not as appreciated as…
Now that you know what an artist portfolio should contain, I’m gonna explain to you how to apply for open calls.
When I say open calls, I mean:
- Exhibitions (in festivals, fairs, galleries…). These open calls are more often for group exhibitions than solo ones. …
SPOILERS AHEAD.
I’ve always thought that a good film, a good series, a “great” work of art, unconsciously make you think about yourself and/or the society you live in. It’s something that moves you and almost acts like a psychologist.
I’m often asked how I manage to exhibit my work.
And the answer is very simple: I apply for open calls.

That’s why I decided to apply for…
If you like art, you certainly know the video “Andy Warhol eating a hamburger.” This latter is an excerpt from the film “66 Scenes from America”, directed by Jørgen Leth.

There, he decided to create a…
I think we all have a place we fall in love with.
It’s like falling in love with a person.
You go somewhere without knowing that it’s going to be love at first sight and yet as soon as you arrive, you feel something very special about this place.
You miss it…
Don’t you think it’s disgusting to see that many artists earn more money once they’re dead? Resting in their graves, they seem to get more consideration than when they were alive. But we all know that it comes way too late.
I’m not going to make a list of all…
During the last lockdown, I found myself thinking about my artistic career,
the uncertainty since the beginning of the pandemic, and the good and bad aspects that there are generally in the art fields.
If someone have told me 20 years ago that I’d become an artist,
I’d have simply…
While studying photography’s history, I came across articles about post-mortem photography. It’s a kind of photography that I’ve always found strange, weird. Before explaining my thoughts, let’s talk about post-mortem photography’s history.
Photography was born in 1839 (but it’s unofficially much older than that).
In 1839, thanks to Arago in…
