Dans ce monde où la tendance est de déshumaniser par toutes sortes de technologies, le sens de la vie se perd dans d'effroyables labyrinthes dont l'avenir nous paraît s'assombrir au fil du temps avec toutes les crises successives dues au pouvoir de l'économie.

Biography
Jean-Claude Mathier was born in Switzerland in 1949 and has been practicing photography for half a century, independently and freely, outside of any fashion trend. He attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Vevey in Switzerland and took courses at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. His mode of artistic expression is pictorial. This offers him the opportunity to magnify the beauty and aesthetics of nature, which opens the doors to understanding self-knowledge, inner peace and respect for life in all its forms. He works by theme. and has more than fifty to offer.
It is through this approach that he invites you to discover his images, whether figurative or abstract, and he thanks you for the attention you pay to his work.
For him photography is not necessarily a Kodak click clack and that's it, it's a work in its own right that is reflected, built over time before pressing the shutter.
It seems normal to him to give free rein to the imagination, to creation, as a painter builds his universe.
From the vision of reality, the artist can bring you into his worlds in a pictorial way without locking photography in its limited reality, that is to say that for him there is no border between the dream and reality. It is the strength of ART in its quintessence that it sublimates.

Reviews and comments
Buongiorno, grande e bella foto, a questo livello di realizzazione mi piacerebbe capire la differenza con l'arte digitale. BRAVA.
geniale Komposition - gratulation
Delightful! Magical dreamscapes!❤️
Très belles photos, toutes mes felicitations. Bravo!
Very beautiful photos, my congratulations. Well done!
Vous oeuvrez sont vraiment merveilleux, je vous félicite 👏
Your work is truly wonderful, I congratulate you 👏
Красота! Очень красиво и по цветам и композиции очень понравилась. Хорошего дня.
Офигенные краски, что дает нам природа, надо еще суметь донести до зрителя. Завидую!
Идея интересна, но в правом углу кадра - какая-то нестыковка!? Или это задумка такая?
Vous avez beaucoup d'idées, n'est-ce pas ?
Природа дает волю своим фантазиям. Великая заслуга фотографа в выборе точки сьёмки.
magnifiques vos photos surtout celles sur l'Islande bravo
Такие работы надо смотреть в отпечатанном виде -на стене, только тогда можно получить удовольствие от всего того, что дает нам природа! Я так думаю, извините. Боюсь опять электронный переводчик неправильно переведет!?
Such works should be viewed in printed form - on the wall, only then you can enjoy everything that nature gives us! I think so, sorry. I'm afraid again the electronic translator will translate incorrectly!?
Разнообразие видов, что дает нам природа, - обогащает наши души.
Мне это очень нравится!
Bravo pour vos œuvres qui nous emmènent dans d'autres univers !
Красота! Прекрасные фото, благодарю.
