Olivia de Villaine

My work concentrates on small details of motherhood and the early life of children. Focusing on details enables me to capture moments of life that will at the end populate the vast picture of memory. Based on that idea, the rendition of my photographs, through a play of light, reminds the one of paintings, as if the work of memory, by the idea of a certain distance between the model and me taking the picture, had already started.
