Dolorès Marat's photography is a journey into the depths of emotion and fleeting moments. This haunting image, with its swirling waters and solitary boat, encapsulates her ability to transform scenes into dreamlike visions. Known for her use of the Fresson printing process, Marat's work possesses a velvety texture that blurs the line between photography and painting, immersing viewers in a world suspended between reality and imagination.


Marat’s instinctive approach to photography—capturing the pulse of a scene without retouching or reframing—creates images that are raw and evocative. Her characteristic motion blur and rich color palette evoke a sense of transience, as if we are witnessing the fleeting heartbeat of life itself.


This image, like much of her work, invites us to drift between chaos and calm, reminding us of the fragile balance between humanity and nature.


Dolorès Marat is truly a poet of light and shadow, capturing the essence of moments that might otherwise slip away unnoticed.
