Nicolas Baghir Maslowski was born in Paris in 1974. He lives and works in Paris, and on the road. He took his first photos in 1984 and practiced as a dilettante until the mid-90s. From the mid-90s, he photographed dozens of Jamaican singers and French artists. It was in 2011 that his first Perturbations were born (titled PN & PNC), images that resemble paintings or drawings; this work accelerated from 2013 and began to be exhibited in 2014; he presented his first Color Disturbances (PNC) in 2016 at Los Angeles. He developed his Photographic Passports from 2018. Since that same year, he has been carrying out his project « The Room – Outside the bedroom » in a micro-workshop where he manages to mix all his artistic approaches.

« At the antipodes of the obvious in large color format, Baghir's visions, of wild beauty, are rooted in the intimate. » - Télérama Sortir

« Far from the arrogance of digital hyperrealism, an island preserved from any reference to place or time, an intimate space, a timeless fault in the photographic horizon. » - Boom Bang

« An indistinct, moving, quivering vision, Baghir's photography opens the doors to a singular universe, and lets the imagination loose. - Art mirror N°68

« An exploration of what persists in the midst of possible annihilation but far from any provocation. ; the whole remains fragile and bluntly unstable. » - Carnetdart
