In this unique series of self-portraits, a profound exploration of feelings of love is revealed, where emotions, often too intense to be expressed in words, find their way through the skin, blossoming into a mosaic of colors and textures. The masculine face, familiar yet transformed, becomes the terrain of floral emotion, where every petal, every leaf tells a story of love, passion and desire.
Each shot is a window onto a different facet of love. Ginkgo biloba, with its promise of longevity and endurance, evokes those loves that stand the test of time, that endure in spite of hardship. The mimosa, bold and vibrant, emerging in the middle of winter, recalls those moments when love, unexpected, lights up the darkest days, awakening the senses and the soul.

This is the first time the artist has revealed himself in this way, not as a mere observer, but as the subject, witness and actor of this emotional dance. It’s not just about capturing an image, it’s about sharing an experience, a feeling, a communion with nature and with oneself.
