Francois Detaille

In 2014, I moved to Australia: a country I’d never visited before. I was immediately struck by the vastness of the continent, its striking colours and its landscapes shaped over millions of years, giving that sensation to travel through time. Since then, I’ve travelled thousands of kilometres across Australia to capture these aerial photographs. With these images, I hope viewers can interpret their own stories from the various patterns and colours Australian nature exhibits. I see my work sitting halfway between photography and painting, hoping to create an emotion for the viewer.

My portfolio has already received several international photography awards, and my prints have sold in Australia as well as overseas.

Artist statement:
“Art is in nature, shaped overtime with boundless creativity, the best remedy for the soul. My goal is to convey that same peace and grace to you as a viewer, offering a moment of amazement & a feeling of deep belonging to our beautiful planet that, more than ever, needs to be cherished for generations
to come.”
