Photograph & Artist

ROBERT JASO

 Dear explorers of the visible and the invisible,

Within this catalog, I offer you a journey-not a straight path but one woven through the folds and shadows of memory. Born in Czechoslovakia in 1964 and uprooted to France in 1969, I grew up between two worlds, suspended between torn roots and uncharted soil. This in-between space, this drift, became the backbone of my artistic vision.

For over 25 years, through the lens of my camera, I've captured fragments of reality featured in Vogue, Marie Claire, and L'Officiel, and collaborated with companies like L'Oréal, Shiseido, and Richard Mille. I've framed singular souls-Rafael Nadal, Margot Robbie, Pharrell Williams. Figures, yes, but more than that, shards of stories, gazes caught in time-echoes of emotions suspended.

Over the last decade, this pursuit has transformed into something akin to alchemy. At the crossroads of photography and artisanal printing techniques, my work stirs colors and textures like unraveling dreams. Using handcrafted inks and emul-sions, I aim to capture not what is, but what slips away, what evades. Fragile, almost ghostlike memories.

This strange and intimate craft led to the Photography Prize at the XIV Florence Biennale in 2023. A milestone, perhaps, but only a step in my exploration of what lies behind the visible. Since then, the journey has continued with new chapters: the group exhibition Les 150 at Le Chat Noir in Paris, followed by Art Mat 2025, and the NESLE 2025 exhibition. Each a space of encounter—between image and viewer, memory and emotion. Open these pages and allow yourself to be drawn in. Between each image, there is a whisper-perhaps a memory, or a question you've never dared to ask.

Looking beyond the veil,

Robert Jaso
