"Patrice , i have a hard time trying to find the words , to describe how i feel about your work .
Lyrical , exquisite , inspiring , it reaches all my senses making them vibrate like the sound of the music i love does .
Borrowing this quote from Egon Schiele , " Art cannot be modern, art is timeless " .
You are a true artist , thank you for being , i thank the "Gods and Goddesses " for letting me me cross paths with you .
May the Muses watch over you , always ."1st April, 2011

"Patrick è l'essenza del "romanticismo"... il modo in cui cattura la luce e la trasfigura nella figura femminile ha qualcosa di magico...
si vedo tutto l'amore ed il rispetto che nutre per la fotografia e per le donne... sue muse ispiratrici assieme alla natura...
Sono davvero felice di aver avuto la possibilità di conoscerlo e ammirarlo...
con affetto

"„Fotografie bedeutet, ein Bild der Welt zu lieben, von dem man weiß, dass es nur ein Bild ist.”
(nach Yves Bonnefoy)
Die große Zahl der Zuschreibungen berührt Fotografie nur am Rande, ohne das Unbekannte fassen zu können. Wenn wir es beim Namen nennen, kommen wir Fotografie nicht näher, sondern versuchen lediglich ihr ein Schema aufzuzwingen.
Man könnte vielleicht dort ansetzen, wo Fotografie bereits entschieden konstatiert worden ist, nämlich deren ausschließliche Ausrichtung an dem, was gewesen ist. Mit dem Prozess der Bildwerdung präsentiert Fotografie Gegenstände und Menschen als Erscheinungen eines früheren Jetzt. Die Beziehung zur Vergangenheit ist auch der entscheidende Punkt. Sie ist nicht nur das zentrale, sondern gleichsam auch das einzige Objekt, das der fotografische Blick fixiert. Ihr Bestreben ist, die Zeit anzuhalten.
Ich denke, Deine Fotografien sind in diesem Sinne Zeugnisse Deiner vorher gedachten Vorstellung an eine ganz bestimmte Pose, an einen bestimmten Ort, an eine bestimmte Stimmung, an ein ganz bestimmtes Licht... Dadurch wirken Deine Bilder und deren Bildaufbau so authentisch und auf ihre eigene Art melancholisch. Denn man wünscht sich diese Pose, dieser Ort, diese Stimmung und genau dieses Licht könnte unendlich andauern, wissend, dass es unmöglich ist."26th December, 2010

"Patrick’s photostream I visit only if I have free time, I never do it speedily. Often I don’t leave a comment, because I am short of the words, because I look at his art without mind, I look at them with my heart … and always listen to music. I love his work because his art is truly original, full of love to everything what he does; with a special respectful to a woman’s body in his set “The world in side my head” and I feel his heart shining in every image.
Patrick’s photos are of very unique style and quality. The shots are very creative and can only be given by someone who is with a special heart, special soul and a great eye.
I was so glad and honoured when he spotted me in so formidable photo stream and today I can say: Patric is my Flickr friend. Thank you.
Happy New Year, my dear friend!

"Renaissance*Man offre un regard d'une grande poésie. Ses photos sur les cimetières ne sont pas mortifères mais d'une douceur étrange et apaisante. Renaissance*Man nous réconcilie avec nos peurs ancestrales au travers d'un regard photographique de talent !!!"

"Patrick has a clear eye for composition and understanding of what makes a photo great. He is an excellent photographer, not restricting himself to any one form of photography but excelling, in my opinion, at them all."
