FLORE (born 1963) is a French-Spanish photographer and daughter of the painter Olga Gimeno.
FLORE took up photography in 1977 and after completing her studies in Toulouse, she established herself in Paris where she currently lives and works.
Laureate 2018 of the Prix de Photographie of the Academie des Beaux—Arts - Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, her work is realized on the long course, often during travels, and are acquired and presented in various prestigious institutions such as the Petit Palais Museum, the BNF, the MMP + of Marrakech, the Memorial of Rivesaltes, as well as on the occasion of Art Fair throughout the world. [1] Alongside her photographic work, FLORE is an acclaimed teacher running regular masterclass.
FLORE defines her poetic and timeless universe as a political act and this is her way to position themselves in front of "the beam of darkness that comes from his own time" as Giorgio Agamben says. She uses mainly analog photography and alternative process, sometimes with additions of material like wax, gold or watercolor with particular care for the print.

Robert Antoine Pinchon was a French Post-Impressionist landscape painter of the Rouen School who was born and spent most of his life in France. He was consistent throughout his career in his dedication to painting landscapes en plein air. From the age of nineteen he worked in a Fauve style but never deviated into Cubism, and, unlike others, never found that Post-Impressionism did not fulfill his artistic needs. Claude Monet referred to him as "a surprising touch in the service of a surprising eye".
Smith is a French transdisciplinary artist-researcher. Smith experiments with and explores the links between contemporary humanity and its boundary figures - ghosts, mutants, hybrids - engaging his own body and that of his collaborators - writers, astronauts, shamans, engineers, designers, performers or composers - in indisciplinary projects. Disturbing genres, languages and disciplines, Smith proposes curious works, in the etymological sense of cura: curiosity and care for the world around us, the terrestrial and the celestial, the human and the non-human, the visible and the invisible, imagination and fiction. Thermal cameras, drones, neon lights, implantations of electronic chips and subcutaneous meteorites, atomic mutations or trance practices characterise his fluid work composed with technological and spiritual means that incorporate the dimensions of mystery and dream.
