ABOUT

Matthieu Venot is a French photographer renowned for his distinctive approach to architectural photography. Born in 1979 in Brest, France, Venot initially pursued a career in music before discovering his passion for photography in 2013. His work is characterized by a minimalist aesthetic, where vibrant colors and geometric forms take center stage.

Venot's photography captures the beauty in urban landscapes, focusing on architectural details often overlooked by the casual observer. His images isolate elements of buildings against clear blue skies, creating compositions that are both abstract and strikingly simple. This unique style has earned him international recognition and exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Through his lens, Matthieu Venot invites viewers to see the world differently, finding art in the everyday structures that surround us. His work continues to inspire and challenge perceptions of urban spaces, making him one of the leading voices in contemporary photography.
