Or the portrait of a Belgian-Luxembourgish Dreamer
At the Luxembourg Fine Arts Salon, a prestigious event dedicated to recognizing emerging and established artists, one artist stood out by winning the Gold Medal, a coveted award celebrating artistic excellence. Among a jury composed of eminent professionals in the arts, culture, and education, this artist, both a photographer and a self-taught dreamer, managed to capture attention with his innovative vision and unique artistic approach.
He shares the fact that he has always been passionate about photography since childhood, both for personal pleasure and as part of his professional activity in the advertising field. This passion prompted him to explore new artistic paths and consider different creative perspectives.
What truly makes this artist's art unique is his ability to wield his camera like a brush. By using his Nikon to create unique visual compositions, he manages to stand out distinctly from other photographers.
His photographic series titled "This is not a painting" paved the way for an even deeper exploration with his subsequent series "Between the Lines." The latter transcends the traditional boundaries of photography and can no longer be categorized as "photography" alone. By merging the art of painting and image capture, he creates a visual universe where the lines between the two disciplines blur, offering viewers a captivating and innovative artistic experience.
Michel Peeraer often uses a transparent medium for his photographs, allowing the environment and life to be incorporated into the interpretation of his images and thus creating a connection between photography and its context.
For him, art is synonymous with freedom, pleasure, and satisfaction. Although making a living from his passion remains a dream for many, he finds in his artistic practice a source of fulfillment and limitless creativity.
This portrait reveals a decidedly modern artist, exploring the boundaries of artistic expression through photography and visual art, while maintaining a profound respect for artistic tradition.
