This image directed by Gaspard de Gouges evokes these inaccessible monasteries perched at the top of Meteora, large rock masses located in northern Greece. The cupolas at the top of these austere architectures, without openings, protected, are reminiscent of the Orient, like the warm colors of the rock set ablaze by this late afternoon. A few clouds invisible in the image cast their shadows on the top of the island. The sea is so calm that the whole image plunges us into a gentle tranquillity, we almost forget that the image is constructed, created from scratch. The shape of the rock to the left of the image, marries the shape of the island in a remarkable way creating a formal relationship.
Dieses Bild von Gaspard de Gouges erinnert an diese unzugänglichen Klöster, die auf der Spitze von Meteora, großen Felsmassen in Nordgriechenland, thronen. Die Kuppeln an der Spitze dieser strengen Architekturen, ohne Öffnungen, geschützt, erinnern an den Orient, wie die warmen Farben des Felsens, die an diesem späten Nachmittag in Flammen aufgehen. Ein paar unsichtbare Wolken werfen ihre Schatten auf die Spitze der Insel. Das Meer ist so ruhig, dass uns das ganze Bild in eine sanfte Ruhe taucht, wir vergessen fast, dass das Bild konstruiert, von Grund auf neu geschaffen wurde. Die Form des Felsens auf der linken Seite des Bildes verbindet sich auf bemerkenswerte Weise mit der Form der Insel und schafft eine formale Beziehung.
Questa immagine diretta da Gaspard de Gouges evoca questi inaccessibili monasteri arroccati sulla sommità di Meteora, grandi ammassi rocciosi situati nel nord della Grecia. Le cupole in cima a queste architetture austere, senza aperture, protette, ricordano l'Oriente, come i colori caldi della roccia incendiata da questo tardo pomeriggio. Alcune nuvole invisibili nell'immagine proiettano le loro ombre sulla cima dell'isola. Il mare è così calmo che tutta l'immagine ci immerge in una dolce tranquillità, quasi dimentichiamo che l'immagine è costruita, creata da zero. La forma della roccia a sinistra dell'immagine, sposa in modo notevole la forma dell'isola creando un rapporto formale.
Ten obraz wyreżyserowany przez Gasparda de Gouges przywołuje te niedostępne klasztory wznoszące się na szczycie Meteory, duże masy skalne położone w północnej Grecji. Kopuły na szczycie tych surowych architektur, bez otworów, chronione, przypominają Orient, jak ciepłe kolory skał, które płoną tego późnego popołudnia. Kilka chmur niewidocznych na obrazie rzuca swoje cienie na szczyt wyspy. Morze jest tak spokojne, że cały obraz pogrąża nas w delikatnym spokoju, prawie zapominamy, że obraz jest skonstruowany, stworzony od podstaw. Kształt skały po lewej stronie obrazu w niezwykły sposób łączy kształt wyspy tworząc formalną relację.

In the early 2000s, he began to paint large format figurative canvases, group portraits. Since 2021 he has devoted himself to photography, which has become a game for him, a kind of motionless journey.
"I started photographing scenes when I was 10 years old, with very realistic toys and models that I built with stalks of dry grass, miniature vehicles. For a long time I wanted to photograph islands, to their dreamlike power, I love to travel there and their memory persists. Their existence plunges us into an elsewhere. I imagined them tropical, but it is on mineral and Mediterranean islands that I finally decided to evoke. My approach is to create stagings, artificial but plausible, realistic landscapes. I create imaginary worlds, sometimes containing ruins, at least rocks that sometimes make me think of fortresses. These landscapes surprise me and always give me a lot of pleasure to create. "
