Marie Aymerez sublimates flowers, insects, and landscapes of southern France, combining aestheticism with scientific rigor.
Marie Aymerez is a naturalist photographer whose work reflects a profound knowledge of the plant and animal world. Through her lens, she precisely explores the diversity of living things, endeavouring to reveal the discreet beauty of wild plants, pollinating insects, fungi and rock formations. Her photography is both aesthetic and documentary, each image accompanied by a clear attention to scientific detail, with rigorous captions mentioning the Latin names, ecological interactions or seasonal particularities of the species represented.
Her work is mainly rooted in the landscapes of southern France. The Gard, Vaucluse, Gers, Aude and Bouches-du-Rhône are familiar territories, where she captures the richness of the garrigues, Mediterranean forests, wetlands and limestone coastlines. She also visits emblematic protected areas such as the Parc national des Calanques and the Gorges du Gardon, where she finely captures the fragile balance and teeming biodiversity. Beyond France's borders, Marie Aymerez extends her gaze to tropical ecosystems, notably in Brazil, where she photographs the Atlantic forest, the coastal areas of the Nordeste and inland regions such as Maranhão, again showing a keen interest in endemic plants and ecological interactions.
What emerges from his work is a patient and attentive vision of nature, an eye capable of perceiving the ordinary as a source of wonder. Her photographic approach lies at the crossroads of art and biology, nourished by a deep respect for the dynamics of living things. Through her images, she invites informed contemplation, a sensitive understanding of the natural world, and a gesture of remembrance in the face of often-threatened environments.
