Los amantes de San Telmo (2021) Photography by Jean-Christophe Beauvais

Jean-Christophe BEAUVAIS was born in France; he has lived in Asia and Latin America for 40 years. 

An artist first and foremost, he is also a passionate photojournalist and a narrator of the written press. 

Before devoting himself entirely to photography, painting, and photojournalism, Jean-Christophe worked in his country's diplomatic service. 

He currently resides in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His approach as an artist specifies: 

"Photography is for me a form of constant exploration. I don't try to stick to a defined style, but to open myself up to the universe of possibilities that this discipline offers. 

Each image I capture is an invitation to look at the world from a new perspective, personal, sometimes intimate, sometimes expansive, but always with a deep curiosity as a driving force. 

My work is a permanent dialogue with diversity: techniques, themes, emotions. I am drawn to the possibility of moving freely between photographic genres, from imposing architecture to the serenity of a natural landscape, from human-charged portraiture to the vibrant spontaneity of street photography. 

I am interested in photography as a visual language capable of adapting and reinventing itself according to the story it wants to tell. In portraits, for example, I look for the authentic connection with the person in front of the lens, and in the street, I let myself be guided by the unexpected, by the energy that moves between people, gestures, and everyday details that reveal beauty and tension. 

And the slow exposure allows me to experiment with time and light, to create ethereal atmospheres, spaces of contemplation that invite me to stop. 

My mission as a photographer is to continually explore. 

To maintain artistic anxiety, to continue to discover new ways of seeing, feeling, and telling, without ever losing the ability to be amazed. 

Since 2020, his focus has shifted to monochrome expressionism, seeking in the contrast between shadows and lights an emotional depth that transforms reality into something more introspective and symbolic. 

However, his work remains eclectic, and this variety of approaches is reflected in the works of this Digital Magazine, which present a new interpretation of his photographic vision. 

Each of them is a testament to his ongoing visual exploration and experimentation. His work has crossed borders and formats: he has participated in group and solo exhibitions in France, Spain, Mexico, Greece, and the United States, where diverse audiences have enthusiastically received his work. 

In Buenos Aires, his current city, he was invited to exhibit his creations in spaces of notable cultural importance, such as the Xeneize Exhibition Hall, the La Boca Foundation Museum or the iconic La Cigale Theatre, adding its visual voice to the vibrant local art scene.
