The differences between real artists and fake ones

I‘ve been an instructor since September 2021 and I have to admit that, even though I really like this job, it’s sometimes time-consuming. In fact, in the last few months, I’ve barely had the time to work on my personal projects. I applied to open calls, exhibited my work, thought about…

Reflections on Virginia Woolf’s diary

Virginia Woolf is one of my favourite authors, so I decided to read her diary. The least I can say is that it’s quite different from what I had imagined, and this surprise led me to write this article. I read the French version (the version translated by Colette-Marie…

What not to say to an artist

In my “Tips for artists” articles, I give advice to artists. But for this new article, I’ve decided to do the opposite and therefore give some advice to non-artists. In fact, I’ve decided to talk about the things that people shouldn’t say to artists. This article is just a reflection of my…

Thank you for your comment. It's really nice and interesting. In fact I totally agree with you. I think that Hopper used this painting to denounce how sad and frustrating the post-industrial life was, even though it was supposed to make life "easier". It wasn't something everyone wanted and we…

Some thieves have stolen my photographs

A few weeks ago, three of my photographs were stolen. For the purpose of an exhibition, they were kept in a specific place. The thieves entered this place and stole many things, including my photographs. I’m sure that they didn’t come into this place to specifically steal my work. They just…

Is the final scene of ‘Last Night’ a good idea?

“Last Night”, by Massy Tadjedin, is one of my favourite films. And when I like a film, I show it to the people I love. But here, it’s a kind of challenge: you never know how people will react to the final scene of “Last Night”. Spoiler Alert “Last Night”…

Tips for artists #4: The benefits of studying Art

"Would my work be different if I hadn’t studied art?” I’ve come to think that yes, it would be different, but not in a good way. I‘m not saying that every person who wants to be an artist should study art. In fact, many great artists are self-taught. Still, I…

Does Art need to be explained?

“Does Art need to be explained?” is the kind of question that divides people. Indeed, some people think that every artwork should be accompanied by an explanation, while others believe that the meaning of an artwork is determined by the viewer. I focused my last “Tips for artists” on how…

Tips for artists #3: How to talk about your work

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…

How to create a staged photograph

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…
