Marc Brousse’s artistic contemplation centers around the intricate connection between nature and architectural structures. His initial source of inspiration stems from a deep fascination with the art of construction, the rich tapestry of civilizations’ histories, religious narratives, and mythical lore. Through his journeys, Brousse discovered that each urban setting embodies a vibrant and distinct “species,” shaped by the juxtaposition of ever-evolving buildings.

These urban landscapes act as living organisms, exhibiting internal vitality that continuously reshapes their external façade. The expression of this transformation varies greatly, contingent upon the specific context to which it belongs. Consequently, a captivating dialogue emerges between nature and architecture, urging us to reflect upon the enduring imprints our cities leave behind throughout time.
