Using Polaroid’s, de Warren has succeeded in capturing the quintessential woman, free in expressing herself. By focusing on the natural female form, he rescues the modern woman from superficial urban excess.

A discovery of the abandoned woman depicted as herself in one pure wondrous instant.

 

Clara Benjamin is Patrick de Warren’s centerpiece. Their spontaneous encounter was instantaneously friendly and assured, while every tryst a complete surprise.

 

What is sophisticated in this series “Awoken Dream” is not in it’s subtle pause but in the way de Warren allows these women to be themselves with their expectations and attitudes, a glimpse of tenderness, a seductive glance, or with a slight pause to share a shy greedy pleasure.

 

Exploring natural and artificial resources, subterraneous lighting merges the playful attitude of the genuine woman. Allowing us a peek into his dreamworld by unveiling narratives that hint at secrets while revealing none, Patrick confronts us with a prelude of new imagination.

 

“Life and the world go very fast. We are in a certain way living in a world where everything is becoming flavorless, with no poetry. That’s why, I feel the need to reconnect everything and in that context, woman is my muse” said Patrick de Warren.
