NEW EXHIBITION
Voyager?
VIETNAM AU BLEU PROFOND
Our journey to Vietnam is now behind us—but its essence continues to unfold.
For three weeks, we wandered through unfamiliar landscapes, surrendering to the rhythm of the unknown. Shot entirely on film, this collection was created through the slow, deliberate process of silver photography—capturing light without preview, trusting the invisible. Like travel itself, it required us to embrace uncertainty, to wait for meaning to emerge.
Back in our studio, we began the quiet alchemy of cyanotype. Developing, interpreting, transforming. Deep blues and luminous shadows slowly surfaced, echoing the fleeting beauty of what we experienced—the glimmers of a place, a moment, a feeling almost lost.
Pessoa’s words still resonate. We did not return unchanged. This journey—both physical and creative—disoriented us, softened our certainties, and opened new ways of seeing.
Next week, we’re excited to share Voyager? with you.
Opening on May 20th at Galerie “Le 102”, this exhibition is more than a collection of images from Vietnam. It’s the trace of a transformation, a visual meditation on discovery, doubt, and presence.
Voyager? is not just a title—it’s a question, an invitation, a quiet challenge.

what else we do?
Cyanotype Photography
We are Dora and Charles. Everything started when we found each other. We were meant to create together and through our passion, love & creativity we gave birth to Kyano. Exploring life together, traveling to magical places, and connecting with Mother Nature, are the elements that feed our souls.
Our creative journey started somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
We flew high above clouds and majestic mountains.
We dove deep into cold waters, roaring rivers & blue oceans.
We knelt down to humbly observe the smallest of creatures.
We saw the land boiling and smoking but also covered by tons of ice.
We saw nature transform, bloom & grow.
We paused to breathe and connect with our planet Earth.
We take it all in and we capture the striking beauty that surrounds us through the cyanotype technique.
Cyanotype photography is similar to poetry for us. It conveys all the words we are unable to express. The deep Prussian blue opens the door to a parallel world and adds a mystical element to the subject. This monochromatic effect invites the eye to rest and wander to imaginary worlds. We invite you to escape reality and find peace and beauty through this powerful color.

NEW COLLECTION
ELEMENTS
EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE
These ancient forces shape the world around us and sustain life. Each element carries its own energy, yet together they create the delicate balance of nature. For our ancestors, these elements were more than just physical forces; they were sacred beings, living spirits that connected all life. Not to be controlled or used, but to be respected and understood.
The 4 Elements inspired us to create this cyanotype series, inviting you to explore the beauty and power of these elemental forces. Each piece offers a contemplative journey into the interconnectedness of all life, encouraging a renewed sense of wonder and respect for the natural world.
