INTRODUCTION & THE ALCHEMICAL JOURNEY
I am a visual artist, mathematician, and philosopher whose practice has developed over more than twenty-two years through an ongoing exploration of light, sacred geometry, and architecture. My encounter with Egypt became the defining experience of my artistic and Spiritual life, initiating a profound alchemical journey. This path transformed my practice into a long-term inquiry into ancient Egyptian sacred architecture and the fundamental relationship between the human being, space, light, and the Cosmos.
The Foundations: From the Europe of the Builders to the Mysteries of Measure
A pivotal moment in my journey began in the South of France, at the heart of the Templar Chapel of Saint Gabriel. This encounter unlocked a vast field of research into the alchemical interplay of light, Christian symbolism, and its esoteric roots. The revelation of this site’s solar alignments—where solstices and equinoxes illuminate a hidden geometry—placed me in direct harmonic and geodesic correspondence with the pyramids of Dahshur and the deep science of Diophantine triangles. My inquiry then expanded to the master builders of medieval Europe, intimately linking Saint Gabriel to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Chartres. It unveiled the profound mysteries of sacred measure, bridging cosmic proportions to the dimensions of the Earth, the Moon, and Light itself.
This geometric thread extended through the sacred geolocation connecting Provence to Tuscany, from Siena to Florence. It was there, within the "City of the Flowers," that what I call "the Eye of the Quattrocento" revealed itself to me. In studying the Cathedral of Florence, its initiatory path, and its line of light, I traced the imprint of the Archangel Gabriel and the mystery of the Annunciation celebrated on March 25th. It is precisely upon this Florentine soil, where the Corpus Hermeticum of Hermes Trismegistus and the Tetractys of Pythagoras were once rediscovered, that my research drew its conceptual keys.
This global revelation naturally expanded my research back to Egypt, establishing a direct, genetic link between European sacred memory, the pyramids of Meidum and Dahshur (Sneferu), and the Giza Plateau (Rostau). My work maps these diverse expressions of sacred architecture, tracking the alignment between the Nile, the land of Kemet, the Earth, and the Sky—the living embodiment of the axiom: “As below, so above; and as above, so below, to accomplish the miracles of the one thing.”
THE EXPANSION: SIWA AND THE AXIS OF AMUN
This cosmic cartography led me to the oracle temple of Amun in Siwa, a sacred oasis resting below sea level, and to Adrere Amelal—the Great White Mountain rising from an immense salt lake. This mountain holds a powerful geographical and spiritual resonance with its twin structure along the distant southern Nile in Sudan: Gebel Barkal, also consecrated to the god Amun. Through these profound landscapes, my work operates as a continuous dialogue between ancient sanctuaries, traditions, and forms of knowledge, always centered on one immutable principle: Light.
THE ART OF LIGHT
Photography serves as my primary artistic language—not to merely record monuments, landscapes, or physical objects, but to decode what light renders visible. My practice is an active dialogue with the forms, proportions, materials, and silences of sacred spaces, seeking to manifest structure, alignment, and presence.
Rather than documenting the surface of the world, my photographic approach operates as a rigorous investigation into light as a supreme principle of revelation. It explores how sacred architecture can be perceived beyond its physical boundaries, transforming the photographic image into a vessel for a higher, received science. I capture what is visible to the eye to map, measure, and reveal the invisible cosmic structures that give it form.
LUXOR: THE LIVING BODY OF THE WORK
At the core of this multidisciplinary research stands the Temple of Luxor, Ipet-Resyt. I do not regard it merely as a historical monument, but as an architecture of being—a living body of sacred space where geometry, light, and cosmic laws intersect. In my reading, Luxor is also the Temple of Eve: a supreme expression of the feminine, maternal, and generative principle woven into the architectural fabric itself.
My research encompasses the broader sacred matrix connecting Ipet-Resyt (Luxor), Ipet-Aset (Karnak), and Ipet-Ta-Apet (the Theban mountain). Through these interconnected sites, I have conducted a long-term study of axes, orientations, reliefs, and harmonic proportions. The work of René Schwaller de Lubicz and his masterwork The Temple of Man provided a foundational catalyst for my approach, echoing my own dedication to the mathematical correspondences between the human body, architecture, and the cosmic order.
A TRANSDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE
My methodology transcends traditional boundaries, weaving together photography, mathematics, Egyptology, archaeology, anthropology, philosophy, and acoustics. These are not separate fields, but interconnected dimensions of a single inquiry into human knowledge and cosmic alignment.
Geometry remains the absolute center of this research. Through decades of empirical observation, precise measurement, and lived experience, I have attained a deep mastery of its principles. This scientific rigor is inherently paired with an intuitive capacity—a channeling of a vast, received science that bridges the visible and the invisible.
A BODY OF WORK AND TRANSMISSION
Today, my practice extends far beyond the artistic medium; it has evolved into a dedicated body of research and transmission. This expertise now translates into “The Art of Light / The Journey of the Eye”—carefully curated journeys and immersive workshops in Egypt. Designed for those who wish to move beyond conventional tourism, these experiences offer a deeper engagement with the country's sacred architecture, symbolism, living heritage, and spiritual dimensions.
Through these journeys, I invite participants to experience Light in its true genetic and formative essence. We explore how the light of the Sun and the stars, shifting according to solar zodiacal positions, is polarized by the Moon—the great reflector, the great mirror. Here, light becomes visible only through reflection, embodying a cosmic triad: the Activity of solar emanations, the Passivity of the Moon, and the Re-Activity of the light reflected by this celestial mirror. This approach draws inspiration from the Myth of the Eye of Ra—the Distant One who returns—a narrative that veils a profound cosmic science once developed by Queen Tiye upon the Land of Aton.
Ipet-Resyt remains the heart of this transmission. It is not merely the location of my work; it is its living body.
