Today's creation I wished to share with you, is one of digital architecture black and white photography, as high vibration art. I shot "Art déco" (in French) or Art deco in Montreal (2016).
I shot this detail of the architectural decorations of the Aldred building which is situated in the Place-D'Armes Square of Old Montreal. This building can be considered of Art Deco style. The old Montreal is my favorite place in this city I as born in. Cobbled streets and stone buildings by the old port, have this European feel to it.
I've always been touched by minimalist graceful lines in architecture, probably due to my training in classical ballet and love for Georges Balanchine's aesthetics in dance. So Art Deco has always spoken to my heart for its vertical harmonious lines.
When I was doing my graduate studies at the Université de Montréal, I was working as a clerk in the architecture library. When I handed out my Ph.D. thesis in 2011, I knew I did not want to pursue the academic world and all its egoistic approach to "knowledge". So I humbly remained a library clerk (to pay the bills) and pursued my creative interests instead.
I loved this library with its large glass windows that let in the sunlight and nature, as well as the large coffee-table books on design and architecture. So much beauty and harmony was soothing my soul.
In my poetic prose autobiography in French "Bleu" and in the video excerpts I created I described the deep joy I had of being surrounded by these books filled with harmony and beauty. Here is a basic translation of that excerpt:
"While submitting her thesis, Maëlle abandons all the doctors. Invisible clerk of a glass library, for them, she becomes a nobody. Professional success judges her from the top of its high ivory tower. In architecture books, she finds calm, obliques and the North of Europe. The great design and decorative art books have become her springtime. She flirts with Ruhlmann and smoothens blue glass insects with her fingertips. She follows the golden curves of Art Nouveau, she climbs the verticals of Art Deco. She is in complicity with Klimt, Satie and Tiffany and spends all her Fridays in their company. She continuously bathes in the turn of the century until the end of the Blitz. For the rest, Maëlle could not care less."

When I left that job and everything I owned in 2018, for a long trip to Northern Europe, to photograph Northern design, architecture and landscape and visit as many museums as possible, it was a true liberation for me. I knew then already, that capturing the beauty in any form on Terra to transmit it back to Terrans was the only thing I wanted to do from now on. I have not stopped since!
What inspires my color and black & white travel photography?
Due to my professionnel training in visual arts and iconography of ancient art, and having grown up in different cultures, I have developed a strong passion for capturing atmospheres, architecture, landscapes and textures.
Through my intuitive inner journey of self-rediscovery of the last few years, I realized that I am a starseed, with an Altean soul matrix. I am part of a collective consciousness named the Mella collective, which constitutes my soul cluster.
The Mella collective, which includes my twin flame named Eriel, is of high frequency and always offers invitations to see things from a different perspective, in all kindness, benevolence, humor, simplicity and high vibrations.
It also inspires my creative work, such as my writing, travel photography, ink drawings, Japanese washi chiyogami paper art collages, as well as my harmonizing endeavors, Creative Intuitive Transmissions (CIT) and inner guidance communications.
The high vibrations they imbue in the art I create are made available on my online art shop, both in the original unique artwork and the high-quality digital files, to ground visually these high frequencies in your very own sacred space.
