Letizia Le Fur
Photography & Special Art Request
Letizia Le Fur graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and first trained as a painter. Her work centers on the depiction of beauty and the representation of a fantasized otherworld. Le Fur’s attention to color is very particular; like a painter, she mixes colors on her palette, isolates and transforms, corrects, adds, exalts the tones, amplifies them to transcend reality and creates this sensation of unreal world. Winner of the Paris Je t'aime x Photodays Prize, the Leica/Alpine Prize and the Grande Commande of the BNF, she is also chosen as a resident by the Planches Contact festival in Deauville (2020), by the Incadaques festival (2021), by the Portrait(s) Festival in Vichy (2023) as well as by the BNP Foundation (2023-24). Nominated for the Niepce Prize in 2022. Her work is the subject of collective and personal exhibitions, in galleries and institutions. She has published four monographs with the publishing houses Rue du Bouquet, Filigranes Editions and RVB Books between 2021 and 2024. In parallel to her artistic work, Letizia Le Fur collaborates regularly with advertising and press magazines (AD, New York Times, Milk …) and is Leica ambassador since 2019.
