Liquid Soul
I create visual worlds blending abstraction and nature through fluid forms born from the interaction of water, pigments, and light. In a studio setting, I photograph these dreamlike landscapes, questioning the boundary between the natural and the artificial, the real and the imagined.
About Artist
Gaëtan Changeur
My work is primarily centered around water — its presence, its transformation, and the way it reveals itself through my series Liquid Soul. This body of work is a study of fluidity and the metamorphosis of matter, capturing the ephemeral nature of substances in transition. My fascination with the behavior of liquids, transformation, and science in general has deeply influenced my creative process. Liquid Soul is an exploration of consciousness and magical worlds populated by chimeric beings. Across boundless space, vibrant textures emerge organically. Like life itself, each image is a mystery waiting to unfold. I’ve developed this project through abstraction and the open interpretation of its subjects, allowing it to evolve from within — feeding itself, growing autonomously. I cannot overlook the influence of Berenice Abbott’s scientific photographs, especially her groundbreaking 1939 series that captured physical and chemical phenomena with artistic elegance. I also hold deep admiration for Man Ray and his rayographs, which informed my earliest black-and-white analog experiments. The expressive power of painters such as Jackson Pollock or Pierre Soulages continues to inspire my desire to create. This photographic work carries a symbolic vaporization — often evoking smoke, or something weightless and aerial. The liquid seems to transcend its immanence, reaching for a kind of absoluteness — ascending from the earthly to the sublime.
