About the artwork

"Abstract Alchemy" is a collection of 30 series and 112 works by Philippe Hugonnard. It explores the union of photography and painting, combining them with the power of precious materials. Each image becomes a visual experience in which sparkling gold, vibrant copper, luminous silver, liquid mercury, coloured pigments and glittering sparkles meet and intertwine.
The collection reveals a rich and varied universe, where fluid forms evoke liquid waves and elegant marbling, while more intense compositions recall powerful impacts, cosmic spurts and flashes of light in motion. Some works exude a dramatic intensity thanks to the depth of blacks and metallic contrasts, while others favour the poetic softness of pastel backgrounds, rosy hues and luminous transparencies.
In each of these creations, light plays a central role, transforming itself into a veritable material. Captured with remarkable technical precision, it highlights every detail, every reflection and every subtle nuance. The spectator is invited to plunge into a hypnotic choreography in which abstraction comes to life, oscillating between strength and delicacy.
Philippe Hugonnard goes beyond the simple decorative approach to offer a total sensory and aesthetic experience. The collection embodies fluidity, transformation and timeless beauty. It celebrates the creative energy born of the encounter between painting and photography, transporting the viewer into a world where art reinvents itself through light and matter.
