Exhibition Overview
The Minerve Photo Festival is one of the few events in France where underwater art is presented with such care and visibility. Exhibitions are spread throughout the medieval village, allowing visitors to wander from vaulted cellars to stone alleys while discovering diverse artistic approaches to aquatic imagery. This unique setting enhances the emotional impact of the works and creates a dialogue between water, light, and the region’s rich history.
From July 25 to August 3, I’m honored to present five works at the 8th Minerve Photo Festival (34210), one of the rare underwater art exhibitions in France. My painting Corrida serves as the official poster for this year’s theme: “On, under and at the edge of rivers, lakes and seas.”
