The Quest for Inspiration is an immersion into the world of Alexandre Deschaumes evocative landscape photographer. The artist portrays the world landscapes with a dreamlike and artistic vision. This was after many solitary wanderings through the autumn forests that he developed his own universe. Guided by the dreamy and enchanting atmosphere of the wilderness, he tries to transform his emotions into some form of evocative beauty. Playing with lights, colors, shapes and contrasts, Alexandre has learned to magnify the natural landscape, giving the appearance sometimes surreal. His images, sometimes comparable to real paintings, emanate from the mountain life and natural elements that compose it. Beyond the mountains, he is attracted by the amazing wilderness of Iceland. While he is preparing a new expedition in Patagonia, Alexandre must face the torment of nature in his quest for ethereal images. „Inspiration remains primordial. Beauty elevates the spirit and ever gives the desire to attain the ethereal spheres.” Alexandre Deschaumes
