ABOUT

Shirley Thomas is a French-Mauritian artist whose work explores the sensitive, intuitive, and introspective dimensions of the image. Trained in a laboratory and at the Centre Verdier, she devotes herself exclusively to pure silver photography: her works are produced without retouching or color modification. The colors come solely from the organic reaction of the film to light, whose extreme sensitivity reflects that of the artist herself. Hypersensitive, Shirley transforms this perception into a method, allowing light and instinct to reveal the most intense emotions and inner states. Her work, deeply rooted in sensory experience, questions perception, interconnection, dialogue with nature, and the way in which the image can become a space for emotional exploration.
