Paul Bonaventure - Creative Photographer

Paul Bonaventure, photographer-creator, is the first to occupy the gallery's walls. This 93-year-old artist has been passionate about photography since 1953 (I'll let you do the maths...). He has therefore closely followed the evolution of the discipline, techniques and styles, from silver to the latest digital technology. He is exhibiting for the first time in his career, after having participated in many national and international photography competitions and having won some nice medals and distinctions. He uses all kinds of techniques which you will discover in detail during the exhibition. Focusing on the play of light, which he considers the central point of his art, the artist shows us his vision of the world through compositions combining natural elements and manufactured objects, as a proof of the possible balance between nature and our humanity. I won't say more... I invite you to come and discover the works he presents and make your own reading. Because that's also what art is, it allows everyone to see what they want. See you soon!
