They are a testimony of its beauty. By immersing us in the movement and the aesthetic power of water, his pictures invites us to reflect on the preponderant place of the oceans in our environment and their interconnections with other elements such as the moon. His prints sometimes seem abstract as the artist plays with scales and shows details which are hardly visible to the unaided eye. Their imposing formats and enveloping presence underlines our belonging to this sublime nature. The infinitely small surprisingly meets the immensity
