Letizia Le Fur is an artist photographer whose eye captures the soul of everyday scenes. Trained at Beaux-Arts, this painting enthusiast has found photography to be a unique medium of expression, combining artistic sensitivity and documentary power. Resolutely Parisian, her artistic universe is rooted in the dynamism and diversity of Paris and the Greater Paris region.
Letizia Le Fur** recently presented an exhibition entitled Le Beau Jeu, commissioned by Paris je t'aime on the theme of gambling in Paris. This project marks a departure from her usual personal work. In this series, she explores the little games played by Parisians, as opposed to the spectacular ‘big games’ such as the Olympic Games.
With a kind and curious eye, Letizia has photographed the intimate scenes of Parisians playing in the street or in everyday places. She captures moments of spontaneity and simplicity that contrast with the clichés often conveyed about certain types of gambler. These familiar moments of play become tableaux where inclusion, tolerance and cohesion take shape.
Letizia Le Fur draws her inspiration from the human realities she encounters on the streets of Paris. Through her lens, she immortalises fragments of life that tell the story of a city that is teeming with life and warmth, despite the social tensions that can make themselves felt.
Her photographs, often taken on the spot, are sincere testimonies to the energy of Paris. They also reveal the artist's attachment to the idea of diversity and living together, values that are echoed in the districts of Grand Paris, veritable cultural mosaics.
Paris and its suburbs are not just the setting for Letizia Le Fur's work; they are also its essence. Every arrondissement, every park, every street corner becomes a source of inspiration for the artist. Human interaction, architectural nuances and contrasting light combine to create works imbued with emotion.
In her approach, Letizia sees her work as a reflection on the role of art in everyday life: how beauty can sublimate the ordinary and how the city, with its contrasts, can inspire universal visual narratives.
