Kouzya

Minimalist by nature, his first reflex is never to retouch his photos, and even less to photoshop them, either for framing or exposure. In this way, each picture leads to a personal reflection, depending on how you look at it...

J. KOUZYA is a gutter photographer, as he likes to call himself. He has his own identity, his own vision of art, cradled by a few influences that guide him in each new creation. In his art notebook, there's the surrealist Magritte, but also Bill Brandt, the nudes of Willy Ronis and the zebra nudes of Lucien Clergues. There's also Hans Bellmer and his passion for articulated and disarticulated female bodies, and of course Jean Clemmer's "Les Métamorphoses", which superimposed Dali's still images.

As a director of institutional and advertising films, and photographer for major companies and brands, J. KOUZYA also attended the ESC Paris business school to perfect his knowledge of the digital world, but it is essentially his infinite curiosity, his philosophy and his visual experiences that enable him to chart his artistic course.
