About the artwork

Farmacie Notre Dame is a digital artwork that captures an intimate scene: the window of a historic pharmacy in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. Originally founded in 1847, the pharmacy still exudes the atmosphere of a bygone era. The facade displays refined details in weathered wood and authentic, hand-painted inscriptions that gracefully carry the word "Pharmacie". The door stands invitingly open, as if calling the visitor to enter a world where tradition and craft merge.
Inside, a warm, soft glow reigns thanks to an antique lamp whose milk glass globes diffuse the light. The enchanting lighting reveals wooden showcases, filled shelves and carefully displayed bottles and jars, which together exude a wealth of pharmaceutical history. The interplay between exterior light and warm interior light creates a poetic contrast and enhances the nostalgic atmosphere.
The artist has an eye for detail and atmosphere, with the digital medium not only rendering the textures and colours authentically, but also evoking a sense of timelessness. The combination of old world architecture and the subtle signs of life - the open door, the burning light - gives the work an almost spiritual dimension, like an homage to generations of knowledge and care. Pharmacy Notre Dame is more than a visual record; it is an ode to the soul of a place that has served the welfare of its community for centuries.
