As part of the BMW Residency award, The Pigment Change is currently being exhibited at Cloître Saint-Trophime until the end of the summer in the context of the Rencontres d’Arles festival, where I had the unique opportunity to present my work at the Théâtre antique d’Arles.  

I am absolutely thrilled to share that The Pigment Change has been featured in  Liberation in an article by Clementine Mercier. 

I am very happy to share that Yorokobu Magazine has recently published my work The Pigment Change in an article written by Juanlu Ronco. The Pigmentch change has also been featured in Vogue Italy,  Monopol magazine, Harpers Bazar China, Madame Figaro and other media in relation to the upcoming exhibition at Les Rencontres d’Arles. 

I am very happy to share I have been awarded a DYCP £10.000 grant from the Arts Council England. 

I am delighted to be nominated by Tamsin Silvey for the Prix Pictet, an award focusing on photography and sustainability, with this years’ theme “Fire”. A jury composed by Sir David King, Duncan Forbes, Phillippe Bertherat, Shahira Fahmy, Herminia Ibarra, Joana Choumali, Jeff Rosenheim and Emma Bowkett will choose a selection of nominees (shortlisted candidates) to exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in December 2021, and a photographer to be awarded a 100,000 CHF prize.

This February I have been invited to give a lecture to BA Photography students at Falmouth University, and an artist talk at LandArt agency. I have also been working on the BMW residency catalogue which will be published by De L’Air Editions and my upcoming monograph with XYZ Books. 

2021 has started with features of my Growing Concerns series in online outlets DesignBoom,  Mashable and Dw Euromaxx, as well as on WestArt TV and France Fine Arts podcast. 

I am thrilled to have finished the BMW Residency at Gobelins with the usual press conference which has led to this fantastic article by Finley Cutts for Fisheye Magazine.  You can read the article on the link below:

During this month I had the pleasure to be invited to give two lectures at Gobelins and at IESA Schools of Art. 

I was also pleasantly surprised to hear Kim Knoppers (curator at FOAM) introducing my artwork to Self Publish Be Happy Online Masterclass students.
