About the artwork

AERIAL SUMMER - Summer from the Balinese sky
A photographic collection by Philippe Hugonnard

AERIAL SUMMER is a collection of aerial photographs captured by drone on the bewitching beaches of Bali, Indonesia. Seen from the sky, the island reveals a striking harmony: the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, the gentle curves of the coastline and stretches of white sand bathed in light. Every flight and every shot conveys the feeling of absolute freedom that only a sharp artistic eye can capture.
The series reveals panoramas where colours meet and blend with balance. The brilliant blues of the ocean - from translucent turquoise to deep blue - interact with the dense green of the lush forests, a symbol of unspoilt nature. The beaches, meanwhile, trace out luminous white lines that contrast with the hypnotic movements of the waves. This vibrant palette instantly evokes Bali's warmth, softness and solar energy.
AERIAL SUMMER oscillates between majestic views encompassing the entire coastline and close-up shots in which water, sand and light create almost abstract tableaux. Together, they capture not only the visual beauty of the island, but also its atmosphere: an invitation to slow down, breathe in and escape.
Through this collection, Philippe Hugonnard proposes an immersion above the island of the gods, a suspended journey where we feel the breath of the sea wind and the serenity of an eternal summer. Each image becomes an open window onto light, poetry and emotion.
