In this series, I explore natural elements such as air and water. By showing air trapped in frozen water from this angle and through this treatment I am trying to highlight the graphics of these elements which are under constraint and somewhere in competition.

These details are not visible to the naked eye. I took macro shots and then used focus stacking to assemble the images. Natural elements and graphics have always been a great source of inspiration for me.

Photographer, sculptor and lighting designer.

Eric Isselée was born in 1966 in the Brussels region. His father, who specialized in aerial photography, passed on to him the gene of photography.

Initially focusing on black and white portraits of children, he gradually developed his technique and expanded his business.

By 2004, he was at the head of a studio employing around ten people.
He then decided to broaden his field of vision and reinterpret one of his teenage hobbies and passions by creating hundreds of light fittings, which he exhibited in his own studio as well as all over Belgium, France and England.

An insatiable creator and lover of nature, he created Life on White in 2006, taking his artistic approach by photographing animals against a white background. This studio, which still employs several people and manages over 35,000 images of 1,500 species, has earned him a worldwide reputation in the field.

His penchant for wildlife photography is further enhanced by the constant additions to his Mvua collection, based on shots taken on the plains of the Serengeti in the light rain that gives his formidable collection its name.

In his perpetual quest for beauty, his approach and artistic evolution are not limited to a formal search for aestheticism, revealing pure lines and immortalizing perfect balances, as seen at first glance in his graffiti transformed into mandalas, called Fractalanofgraff.

By working more with materials, as he does in his new aluminum lighting designs, he reveals another facet of the density of his work. The reliefs and asperities to which this material invites us this time to rethink balance and aesthetics from another angle.

Beyond the sublimation of the ephemeral or the beautiful, we question the power of art and of the artist when he transforms the commonplace into a unique work of art...
