Né à Paris in 1956, Manorack, of Laotian origin, lives in the Basque Country. Since his adolescence, he has been sensitized à art and over the years, he felt the need to delve even deeper into a personal aesthetic search that goes beyond art. of simple visual representation.

At 17, he received his first camera from his parents. This tool quickly becomes his gateway to an inner world filled with beauty and unknowns.

In its future project, Manorack aimed to: a career as a war journalist-reporter, inspired by by legendary photographers such as Mc Cullin, C. Leroy, G. Caron... but life decided otherwise.

For Manorack, photography remains a vector of passion. He frequents this environment as: freelancer for local newspapers, wedding and event photographer, institutional (corporate) photographer and seasonal photographer-filmer.

He will definitely make a career in social professions, as a specialized educator, where he was able to satisfy his passion by transmitting his enthusiasm to others. a population of young people with physical, psychological and social disabilities. This is where it is. that he discovers the power of artistic expression to touch souls and minds.

He felt that his path was in reality shot towards a more intimate quest, an exploration of the beauty of nature. and spirituality which hide behind the appearance of all being and all things.

Now at In retirement, he devotes himself entirely to his work. his passion for photography. This new freedom This creative career offers him even more opportunities to create his career. to venture into unexplored dimensions of colors, shapes, compositions, influenced by the great masters of photography, painting and even music.

His objective is to transmit his emotions and his vision of the world to others. through his art. His work travels through countless universes to amaze the "viewer", to take him to unexpected lands by revealing to him a reality of his own. diverted from all that is conventional, passing through the unreal... by making the invisible visible.

For Manorack, photography represents much more than a simple means of documenting the world around it. It places the “same point of focus,” the eye, the head and the heart”.

My approach

 

• The art of transmitting or transmitting art?

 

My approach consists of; transmit art or transmit through art.

By mixing the senses with the sensitive, this allowed me to explore heterogeneous universes, to play with colors and shapes according to my inspiration and to amaze the vision of «  viewer » by “confusing” the image to lead it to the where we didn't expect it.

I like to provoke reactions, challenge perception and go beyond what is perceived. of the real image. Therefore, I am looking to put into representation my feelings by revealing the invisible of the visible in my creations.

 

• Creation...

 

For me, photographic creation almost always involves several stages. Inhabited through constant readjustment, I am rarely satisfied with finishing a work in a single stroke.

For me, experiencing a painting means accepting a constant change in the look and in the vision, because I am constantly influenced by the painting. by multiple sources of inspiration and references, whether pictorial, photographic, cinematographic or musical.

 

• « The line of sight» …

 

I think that the divide between the reality of the scene and its interpretation is necessary.

However, the intrinsic energy of aesthetics, expression and transmission remains my primary concern.

I'm looking to arouse emotions, sensations, perspectives and evoke the presence of absences.

I like to enter into a form of freedom and not to comply with a defined framework or style, while emancipating myself from technical conventionality.

My only imperative is to know how to “put the head, the eye and the heart on the same line of sight.” asHenri Cartier-Bressontells us so well.

 

• Who am I?

 

I consider myself a photoplastician (artist is an honor). By juggling between abstraction and the figurative, I play with the limits of the real and the unreal. This is perfectly suited to your needs. my desire to awaken consciences to give them something to do think rather than accept the image as it presents itself to you. at first sight, despite its beauty unobstructed.

To do this, I have no precise or fixed method, except that of following the dialogue that takes place between the shot and the other. and my awareness of the moment and of exposing it as it results.

I am just a message carrier using photography as a tool to transmit my vision of the world to others. through my creations.
