My lifelong connection to nature began in childhood, crouched in forests observing flowers and insects. My mother shared her love of plants, and my father his passion for photography. Both deeply shaped my artistic path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside my photography, I work as a cancer researcher. My scientific background influences the way I approach my art: with precision, curiosity, and a respect for complexity. I aim to blend science, art, and conservation to highlight the beauty and fragility of the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a gay artist, I bring a personal perspective that values diversity and subtlety, even when it's not explicitly visible in my work. I collaborate with local orchid enthusiasts and the Montréal Botanical Garden to immortalize their living collections, and I also document broader natural scenes from my travels both local and afar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/collections\/philippe-jolivet.oembed","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
