MICHELLE ANOUK

Living in red




Undoubtedly, Patagonia must be a great place to enjoy the light in all its shades. Michelle Anouk lives that in its same heart and gives us all her light’s vision in every picture she takes. Light is her energy, her life, her answer to the problems of the world. Light is marvellous.

She likes to play with each image set. Do not hesitate to expose her face in a scanner and work her results with all sorts of textures and filters. She’s a creative soul wrapped in a special golden red and a long way to walk.

To walk through her eyes around an abandoned factory is a pleasure for the senses. Her black and white is powerful and raw. Her eyes make you believe you've already been there but increasing our own feelings. Symmetries are broken in their eyes just by new perspectives. Stops at every place and recreates it to us being completely faithful to its essence. Beauty is in who is able to see it and Michelle can see beauty in every corner.

The rest of colours are also starring in her work. Red caught specially my attention from the beginning. Her self-portraits show us her red hair with shocking force. She has already exhibited her work in some galleries in her country, Argentina, but she doesn’t stop her work. Definitely, Michelle must be experienced in red as life.
