About the Artists:

From the sky to the earth, the visual artist photographer Manolo Chrétien is fascinated by the effects of gravitation on elements. Atmospheric pressure, deformation of matter, distortion, clouds, currents, winds, waves, fluid dynamics, erosion ... all these terms have accompanied him every day since his birth at the end of a runway at Orange air base in 1966 .

Manolo describes himself thus: "I am an eternal wonder, who captures the unexpected and composes with an uninterrupted child's gaze ... Fluidity tracker, I’m definitely guided by the ephemeral transformation of the elements".

Manolo Chretien lives and works in Blois. He is represented by several galleries in Paris, Brussels, Montreal, Singapore and in London with >french art studio since 2009.
