Minimalist Heritage - Photo

Here I am, once again experimenting with a new way of artistic expression!

Indeed, the posititve comments on my pictures since I joined Instagram social network one year ago (summer 2015) have motivated me to imagine a small collection of pictures. And I finally created three little thematic series with twelve photos each. Each picture was edited in a limited edition of three numbered copies in "picture squares" (20*20 cm framing mat, 10*10 cm photo) and in postal cards (15*10.5 cm).

The Minimalist Heritage series reveals graphic, minimalist, and particularly curious details of architectural buildings, heritage cultural sites, and more common urban landscapes with the aim of offering an unexpected artistic eye on them.
