About the Artist – Laurent Ballesta
Laurent Ballesta is a renowned underwater photographer, marine biologist, and French explorer known for his breathtaking images of the deep sea. He is the founder of the Gombessa expeditions, which combine scientific research with artistic creation.
His work showcases rare species and inaccessible underwater landscapes, captured with both technical mastery and artistic sensitivity. He collaborates regularly with National Geographic and has won the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year award multiple times.
Ballesta is also the author of numerous books and documentaries, and his work invites us to reflect on the beauty and fragility of the marine world.
About the Gallery – ArTypique Galerie
Located in Carouge, ArTypique Galerie was founded in 2018 by Sandrine Berjonneau, a passionate nature photographer. The gallery is dedicated to artistic photography, with a special focus on nature, landscapes, and travel.
Sandrine showcases her own photographic universe and regularly hosts temporary exhibitions by guest artists. Her approach aims to reveal the hidden beauty of the natural world, without retouching, using natural light to show “what her eye has seen.”
Please find attached the press release and poster for the exhibition.
We look forward to seeing many of you there!
