Artist statement: “I am a graphic painter, graduate of Applied Arts in industry. Duperré School, in advertising design and graphic art. At the exit of Arts Appliques. in 1973. I joined Aéroports de Paris and participated in the preparation of the launch of the new Roissy CDG airport in 1974. From 1981 to 2010, I assumed union responsibilities in transport, then in 1996 I returned to Aéroports de Paris and successively became in charge of commercial relations with Air France then Director of the Orly West Terminal. From my multidisciplinary training in Applied Arts. I maintain an interest in all forms of creation. I continue to draw and paint as often as possible with the plan of being a painter later. Since 2011, I have lived and worked in my workshop in Rennes. Later became now! I work mainly on the theme of memory: the organization of human memory, books and their rhythm in libraries. ancient writings. architecture. major projects and beyond. the perpetual formation of Earth and Space. My favorite media often had a first life.
I reuse large cardboard packaging boxes and already used papers. for example pleater rolls. poster walls. I like to work on wrecked supports, if they are not wrecked from the start, I “wreck”” them up myself, notably by pleating in such a way as to make the graphic gesture more or less random. I then carry out work of construction, deconstruction/reconstruction of the work by a process that I call tearing/pasting. I sometimes introduce covers. for example using red threads and hidden texts. Moreover. I practice sketching with a felt-tip pen on the spot and as often as possible.”

Introducing Nicole Pittoors with her artwork called "Fauna of the Deep" It's a detailed digital illustration of several deep sea creatures such as a yeti crab, tubeworms, deep sea corals,... Nicole created this image for the 8th International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals and 7th International Symposium on Chemosynthesis-Based Ecosystems Artist statement: “My path to the deep-sea began with a paintbrush, using art to capture the beauty and vulnerability of marine ecosystems. Now, as a deep-sea biologist specializing in coral ecosystems and hydrothermal vents, I've realized that scientific discoveries often require more than data to reach their audience. My work aims to complement research publications by translating biological processes into visual narratives that make science accessible. Because deep-sea ecosystems exist beyond human experience, art offers a way to spark curiosity about the deep-sea, and that sense of wonder is the first step towards protection. The power of this approach was beautifully demonstrated during Schmidt Ocean Institute's expedition to Argentina's Mar del Plata Submarine Canyon in July 2025. As millions of citizens watched live streams of lush deep-sea ecosystems, Argentine artists began creating their own interpretations of the ROV footage - from detailed scientific illustrations to whimsical comics, and across every medium imaginable. This spontaneous response didn't just amplify public interest; it catalyzed a national conversation about ocean science that ultimately led to scientists testifying before Congress and sparking national discussions about restoring research funding." Ending of the statement in second Alt-text "This is the potential I see in combining art with deep-sea science: transforming the distant into the immediate, and the unknown into something people care about protecting. Through my work, I aim to make these hidden worlds both visible and meaningful to audiences who may never see them firsthand. In an era where we're poised to industrialize deep-sea environments before fully understanding them, art becomes a bridge between scientific discovery and public stewardship.”

This is an illustration made with oil color on canvas. The background shows a blurry ocean floor in phtalo green (one of my favorite colors). Above the ocean floor “floats” a bluish colored Pacific Stingray. The wings of the ray are quite round and give this animal the shape of a disk (with a tail). The ray on the painting has tiny, round eyes and dark spots like freckles all over its body.

This painting shows a hatchet fish, the name refers to the shape of its body which, with a little imagination, reminds one of a hatchet. It’s a tiny fish with a silvery skin, which reflects the little light that reaches its habitat in the twilight zone. I used different colors to show the iridescence. The eyes of the fish are quite large and always look upwards, to look for prey and predators. I painted the background in very dark blue, with a mist of lighter blue, to illustrate the tiny bioluminescent creatures floating in the dark.
