Exhibition L'Esprit de l'Art by TargetArt
I am taking part in an exceptional exhibition: L'Esprist de l'Art
From September 4 to 7, 2025, in the vibrant heart of Paris’s 11th arrondissement, this prestigious artistic event is organized by TargetArt. This first edition of the contemporary art fair will be held in an emblematic venue dedicated to contemporary creation.
An artistic event in Paris dedicated to encounters and diversity
L'Esprit de l'Art is much more than just an exhibition
The Spirit of Art is a contemporary art fair bringing together 44 artists from a variety of disciplines—painters, photographers, sculptors, visual artists, and performers. It is an event conceived as an artistic crossroads, a space for exchange, discovery, and dialogue between creators and the public.
TargetArt, known for its human-scale digital platform, is taking a decisive step forward by organizing its first physical event. The fair fully embodies the spirit of art, in all its vibrant, multifaceted, and profoundly human aspects. Each work exhibited tells a story, each artist unfolds a sensitive universe, and it is in this diversity that the richness of the event lies.

My Imaginary Planets: A Poetic Vision of Our World
During this temporary exhibition, I will present several works and artistic creations from my series Imaginary Planets in large format, a photographic collection that explores a poetic and visual imagination inspired by our Earth, while reinventing it. These creations often originate from a real place - a beach, a field, a lone tree—but are then transformed to offer the viewer an immersive, sometimes surreal, always immersive experience.
Each Imaginary Planet is an invitation to travel within, to rediscover an essential connection between nature, light, and emotion. My works are part of a contemporary artistic approach, at the intersection of photography, visual storytelling, and a form of contemplation. They are offered as limited-edition art prints, printed on premium media such as Chromaluxe sublimation, for a perfect reproduction of colors and contrasts.
Participating in an art exhibition like L’Esprit de l’Art is for me a way of sharing these worlds with a curious Parisian public, art lovers or collectors, in an atmosphere that is both stimulating and friendly.
An emblematic venue: the Bastille Design Center in Paris
Located in a carefully renovated former industrial workshop dating back to 1880, the Bastille Design Center is an ideal setting to host this event. Across three levels bathed in natural light, the works interact with each other, opening up to the public and finding their place in a space conducive to both contemplation and discussion.
It is in this setting that the exhibition The Spirit of Art will come to life, with a scenography that respects the individualities of each artist while building overall coherence. Because the spirit of art is also this: making differences coexist, making them resonate together.
A rich and inspiring exhibition program
Beyond the current exhibition of works, L’Esprit de l’Art offers a lively and original program. Theatrical readings, musical performances, book signings, and talks on art leasing will punctuate the four days of the fair. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in a truly creative dynamic, to meet new people, to deepen your knowledge, or simply to be surprised.
As a photographer, I particularly enjoy these moments of exchange. Art, in my opinion, only takes on its full meaning through encounters—through gaze, dialogue, and shared emotion.
