LINDA FOUCRIER

 

 

I am a visual art lover and have been interested in photography, painting, and design since the early years of my life.  The precision and possibility to capture a moment on a piece of sensitive paper that one can manipulate and preserve has always appealed to me.  An image of a fraction of a second converts into a lasting memory. The magnetism of an aesthetic and suggestive composition, especially in black and white images, never ceases to awaken my senses.

My father, who was a great amateur photographer, was and continues to be a significant influence and inspiration for me; he spent long hours in the darkroom discovering the magic appearance of shapes and images. His legacy has been  meaningfully motivating.

 I have studied journalism, cinema, and art. I also enjoy writing and consider the relationship between words and pictures an important channel to convey my ideas. During my travels and everyday life, I have developed a photographic documentary of places, people, and journeys for more than fifteen years.  The photographic and pictorial series and subjects evolve themselves through new encounters, spaces, and relevant topics that I want to develop and explore.

My relationship with Art, photography and life is a work in process.
