French Margaux Roy‘s photography draws on simple moments of her everyday life and stories from her childhood. Each shot becomes the occasion for the artist to express her feelings through images – precisely through textures, shapes, contrasts, pattern juxtaposition.
Roy’s work is minimalistic, and one can clearly see how thoughtful is the selection of landscapes, situations and glimpses that stick to the artist’s idea of pure and geometric composition. In order for her to get this result, she removes all the background “noise” setting new scenes in which extraneous objects are removed and the main subjects, mostly landscape details, although decontextualized, appear totally tuned in the artist’s chromatic and formal construction of the environment.
