"Mitakuye Oyasin"

This is Lakota Sioux for "All My Relations." It is a prayer of oneness and harmony with all forms of life: other people, animals, birds, insects, trees and plants, and even rocks. It reminds us that we are connected to these other aspects of Creation, that we share a common kinship in the Hoop of Life.

I'm between 50 and 60, live in Switzerland and speak several languages.

My wife, my daughter and my son are my source of happiness

I'm passionate by beauty in any form: human beings, objects, animals, nature, whatever…

I love photography & music and I ride a red Ducati Monster 900

My preferred photographers: Rene Burri , Gilles Bensimon and Annie Leibovitz (my masters), Anton Corbijn, Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways.

You tend to focus on color and movement in art.

For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail.

You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.
