EMOTIONS - PORTRAITS AND LANDSCAPES OF THE WORLD

EN - If, as the saying goes, ''the face is the mirror of the soul'', it also reflects the part of the earth where a person was born, raised, and has spent his life.

Through a gallery of over one hundred magnificent and moving portraits, photographer Serge Anton showcases the diverse humanity of our planet. The collection features wrinkled faces, smooth skin, deep black eyes, piercing green or transparent blue, full or dry lips, and plump or emaciated cheeks. Each unique portrait reflects a life, as conveyed by the panoramic photos that are both beautiful and mysterious, depicting diverse, almost personified landscapes.

These portraits, differing significantly from each other, exude many human emotions: profound joy, deep sadness, defiance, malice, and astonishment. They serve as living testimonies to the diverse life experiences across the globe.

However, they all share their ability to reach our souls at their very core.

''There''s heart in Serge''s portraits, there''s humanity in his faces, which carry their landscape within them.''
- Yann Arthus-Bertrand

FR - Si, comme le dit l''adage < le visage est le miroir de l''ame >, il reflete egalement le coin de terre qui le voit naitre, grandir, vivre.

A travers une galerie de plus d''une centaine de portraits, magnifiques et touchants, le photographe Serge Anton, nous conte la diversite humaine de notre planete. Visages rides, peaux lisses, regards d''un noir profond, yeux d''un vert percant ou d''un bleu transparent, levres pulpeuses, dessechees, joues pleines ou emaciees. Chaque singularite est le reflet d''une vie, comme l''evoquent les photos panoramiques,a la fois belles et tout aussi mysterieuses, de paysages divers et presque personnifies.

De ces portraits, si differents les uns des autres, emane une multitude de sentiments humains : joie intense et communicative, tristesse absolue, defiance, malice, etonnement ... Ils sont autant de temoignages vivants de ce qu''est la vie aux quatre coins du monde.

Mais tous ont en commun de nous toucher au plus profond de l''ame.

< Il y a du coeur dans les portraits de Serge, il y a de l''humanite dans ses visages qui portent en eux leur paysage. >
