Yvon Jolivet is a self-taught canadian artist born in Quebec an a scientist by training where he worked for several decades as a research professional. His photographic approach has tended to highlight the natural environment by the symbolism that emerges from it. He often use a proximity photographic approach, which divides the territory into more complex fragments. This allows him to bring a new meaning to the forms and the natural rhythm which govern our environment.
His approach to images is sometimes akin to ideograms, the purpose of which is to represent the meaning of a word or an concrete or abstract idea. This photographic treatment allows him to link photography more easily to literature from here and elsewhere. This "ideographic" approach facilitates the integration of the same photograph within different series and therefore brings fluidity to this too often static art.
This approach, as well as the care he brings as much to the quality as to the deep meaning of photography in the human psyche have enabled him to win, since 2016, more than forty international honorary distinctions including the silver medal in Fine Arts at the PX3 (Paris Photography Prize).
