Photo d'art de type mini planète : Sortir du Vortex
A Visual Journey: Paul Marnef's Exhibitions Across Belgium and Europe
Welcome to my exhibition page! I am Paul Marnef, a Belgian photographer specializing in visual art and creator of the series 'Imaginary Planets' or 'tiny planets'. Through my photographic creations, I offer an artistic and poetic vision of our world, transforming ordinary landscapes into suspended spheres, where elements twist and curl to give birth to parallel universes. My work invites the viewer on a visual journey, between dream and reality, where imagination knows no bounds.
An Artistic Presence in Belgium and Europe
My artistic career has allowed me to participate in numerous exhibitions in Belgium and abroad. It is through these events that I have had the honor of introducing my "Imaginary Planets" to a wide audience, both local and international. These creations, in limited editions and printed using high-quality techniques such as Chromaluxe, captivate with their originality and their ability to reinvent landscapes and natural spaces.
Each exhibition is a privileged opportunity for exchange with art lovers, collectors, critics, and fellow artists. These encounters allow me to share not only my works, but also to gather emotions and reactions that enrich my artistic approach. For me, exhibitions are not simple presentations, but true dialogues between the artist and the viewer.

A Unique Artistic Approach
My artistic approach is rooted in a reflection on the perception of reality and how photography can reinvent it. Through each Imaginary Planet, I seek to challenge traditional perspective and create parallel worlds that defy gravity and visual conventions. These poetic spheres are constructed from landscapes photographed in their natural environment, then digitally transformed to offer a fresh and unexpected perspective on the nature that surrounds us.
The process of creating an 'Imaginary Planet' is both technical and poetic. It begins with the photography, where I capture landscapes, skies, and horizons. Then comes the work of digital retouching and assembly, where the elements curve and curl to form a sphere, like a planet floating in space. My goal is to evoke in the viewer a sense of escape, a suspended moment where one can dream of other worlds.
Technology at the Service of Art
Technological innovation plays a central role in the creation of my artwork. To enhance my Imaginary Planets, I use cutting-edge printing techniques. The Chromaluxe finish is my preferred printing method, as it guarantees exceptional brilliance, vibrant colors, and highly precise details. This method, based on thermal sublimation, involves printing directly onto aluminum panels, which offers remarkable durability and an unparalleled visual impact.
In addition to Chromaluxe, some of my works are available in an Alu Dibond finish, an elegant and contemporary material that integrates perfectly into modern interiors. This aluminum mounting process adds a touch of sophistication and visual depth to my creations.
I work closely with professional laboratories in Belgium, specializing in high-quality art printing. These expert partners ensure that each artwork is reproduced with unparalleled precision and care, making each art print unique and enduring.

Exhibitions: A Moment of Sharing and Exchange
Each exhibition is a new adventure. For me, it's a unique opportunity to share my artistic world with fellow enthusiasts, but also to create a direct connection with the public. During these events, I enjoy listening to the interpretations and emotions that my works evoke in visitors. These exchanges are essential to my development as an artist, as they allow me to understand how my work is perceived and to adapt it, if necessary, to new perspectives.
The world of exhibitions is rich in discoveries, not only for those who come to admire the works, but also for me as a creator. Through 'Imaginary Planets,' I invite everyone to step back, reinvent their perception of the world, and allow themselves to dream. My works are windows onto alternative worlds, where nature is reinterpreted through a poetic lens. Each of these mini-planets is an invitation to explore an intimate universe and to be carried away by the beauty of reinvented landscapes.
A Poetic Vision of the Future
The journey so far is a source of pride, but it is toward the future that I look with the most enthusiasm. New exhibitions are in preparation, both in Belgium and abroad, and I look forward to sharing these original creations with you. I am constantly working to push the boundaries of my art, exploring new exhibition spaces, collaborating with other artists, and developing increasingly ambitious projects.
If you are interested in my work, I invite you to follow this page regularly to stay informed about my upcoming exhibitions. You can also follow me on social media, where I share behind-the-scenes glimpses of my work, previews of my new creations, and the dates of my upcoming events.
Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey through my Imaginary Planets. Each exhibition is an opportunity for me to take you on a journey into this unique universe, where nature is reinvented, and where imagination has no limits.
Exhibitions in Belgium and Europe: Open the Doors to New Worlds
In the coming months, you will be able to discover my work at various exhibitions in Belgium and across Europe. These events are opportunities for me to take my miniature planets on a journey beyond borders and share my passion with diverse audiences. Whether it's a gallery in Brussels, a contemporary art festival in Paris, or an exhibition in a European city, each event is a new chapter in the story of my Imaginary Planets.
