These photographs are a silent biography of Claude Monet — not written in words, but in light, color, and stillness. Captured at his home and gardens in Giverny, France, these images tell the story of an artist long gone, through the spaces he shaped and the nature he loved.
There is no portrait of Monet here. No brush in hand. No studio scenes. And yet, his presence lingers — in the tangled vines, the filtered sunlight, the curve of a lily pad. Giverny is more than a place; it is a living self-portrait, carefully composed over decades. Every path, every flower bed, every reflection in the pond is a stroke of his hand.
In his silence, the garden breathes. The water remembers.
This work is an act of listening to that quiet. Of photographing what remains when the painter is gone, but his vision endures — not in museums alone, but in the earth and air of this place. Through these images, I hope to let the viewer step gently into Monet’s world, and hear what cannot be said.
