La Chèvre d’Or in Èze, the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, La Réserve de Beaulieu and the African Queen on the harbour, the Villa Santo Sospir and its walls drawn by Jean Cocteau, the Monte-Carlo casino, the Tête de Chien, the Petite Afrique, the Moyenne Corniche, the Maurice Rouvier path between Beaulieu and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Paloma beach, the lemons of Menton… One could list this magic for hours, the kind only a few fortunate insiders truly know. We had access to it once, then no longer. But the impressions remain. There is in these places an old-world elegance that never quite fades, if only through their architecture. There, when a vintage Aston Martin drives past, it is not vulgar — and it is probably the only place in the world where that is true.
There is the French Riviera of postcards, and there is the one of memory. The one that returns in winter, in fragments: a backlit palm tree, the façade of a Belle Époque villa, the blue of a pool where summer dissolves. After Riviera was born of this second Riviera, the one where outlines fade and only colour endures. Eighteen fine art prints, plus a limited edition — made to dress a wall the way one keeps a memory: without quite fixing it in place.
A Riviera of Memory, Not a Backdrop
Each image works as a memory rather than as proof. You don’t quite recognise the places — and yet, if you know the Riviera, you have surely seen them somewhere before. A Belle Époque villa facing the Mediterranean, a palace terrace suspended out of time, a sailboat off Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer seen from a terrace. Places always filtered through light and the blur of memory. These are prints that do not shout. They settle into a room and warm it.
A Few Pieces from the Series
After Riviera 01 — The Palm Tree. A palm, a façade in the light. The founding image of the series. After Riviera 02 — The Swimmer. A woman in a couture swimsuit in a pool, summer dissolving into the blue. After Riviera 13 — Eva. A silhouette walking toward the water against the light, gilded by the setting sun. After Riviera 18 — The Parasols. A private beach at golden hour, floating in the memory of a summer.
