Hello and thanks for being interested in my world of ArtWork.
My name is Jean-Pierre Stauffer and I am a painter who has replaced his brush by a camera.
I live alternately in Switzerland, France, Spain and Portugal. As a photographic artist, I am interested in the motifs of nature, but I also like architecture. During my countless journeys through Europe, the Caribbean and the world of the Canary Islands and Cape Verde, I have come across a wonderful nature that is increasingly threatened. Our world is in a state of upheaval, but we have to make sure that it doesn’t eventually break down because of this upheaval.
My works try to bring nature and the old way of life into a harmonious connection with the new world. It is important for me not only to direct the viewer’s gaze towards the beautiful, but also to show where the dangers lie and which traps mankind must not fall into.
If we do not remain conscious of the past, if we choose to ignore it, we lose our roots, we lose the connection to the souls of our ancestors and the power of what they did not only leave to us but also intended to pass on to us. If we follow this path we will lose our future.
