Contemporary Art - Edition - Lévitation

Aditional Information

Period	Contemporary (1945-today)

I am an ex journalist of the press filmed in Nice, which allowed me to meet and know renowned artists such as Martial Raysse, Armand, the sculptor Cézar, Sacha Sosno and Yves Klein. All my professional activities have been devoted to creativity.

Fashion photographers for major French, Italian and German magazines, I am a contemporary of Patrick Demarchelier. At the same time, I also did some studies which allowed me to become an expert in 18th century French. Art is the result of various internal sensitivities that translate in different ways according to your own feelings.

My graphic works are made from my photos and my graphic palette, which does not prevent me from painting oil paintings that require a lot of time, as they are usually enhanced with gold leaf and other materials through techniques that are personal to me.

In order to make myself better known to the general public, I offer my production "COLLECTOR" in limited series of 1/50. Each work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed with the monogram CF with a personalized dedication on request. All the prints are made in high definition of 450dpi. It is very important that the work is highlighted, so that it takes its full scope.
