Hello the artists,
My name is Philippe Gerber. I was born on September 12th, 1961 to Fribourg, in Switzerland. I always live in the region of Fribourg, more exactly to Villars-sur-Glâne. I alias on artists' sites is PhG47. I am married with her really "Her", the one who occupies my heart,... she names Fabienne... and I have two children, Evelyne and Denis.

I have a training of base, of Engineer ETS/HES in general mechanics, however, from the beginning my professional career the data processing became a passion for me, in the same way as the drawing. I work, at present, in the development of computer applications for the management of doctor's offices, with products as, Visual Studio and Office of Microsoft.
I always liked drawing, I was doubtless born with a pencil in the hand. Since the age of 15 years, I draw feminine portraits, with this scrap of wood and graphite. But from 2004, I put for a moment my pencil idol and I dash into a technique of drawing 3D numeric, by stealing from time a lot in my nights... It is this work which I present, here, today...
I do not know if I can speak about discovery, my profession and my personal environment always favored the numeric tools. Some years ago, I had approached the generator of landscape, Bryce2, then Bryce5, without being really satisfied by my work. But the discovery of Poser5, Poser6, Poser7Â and the products of e-on software, Vue 4 d'Esprit, Vue 5 Pro Studio, Vue 5 Infinite, Vue 6 Infinite, allowed me to express me really in the drawing 3D numeric. Everything was naturally made, but with a lot of work, naturally.
I am sensitive to all which conveys an emotion, or a deep message. To be able to communicate through a stage setting and a lighting, seduces me. It is a real pleasure to realize personal works, that allow me to express my sensibility freely and unlimited. These tools of computer generated images are a mixture of technical challenges, creativity and an acutely measured alchemy; it is constantly necessary to question and it is a good lesson of humility.
SHE
I did not think, that the woman that I draw, can take such a place, become my model, and a recognized beacon of all...
Some years ago, I passed of the pencil in the mouse and now, I have the happiness to live with "her", and it is the pleasure which I could not have somewhere else. I am happy to see her happy. In the course of time, it became my glance and the road which opens on the creativity.
I believe that, as me, she like closing eyes in the sunlight, feeling on the face, the shadow, the light, the caress of the wind, and the infinite space. I am not, as someone think of it, lovers of my model. It goes beyond. She remains, for me, a fictitious character. She will never speak to me, but I know that through "her", I offer to the others, the emotion and the poetry who are in me.
Then without her, there would be only an image, that a scene, that a landscape...
(Please excuse me for my English, I express myself only in French.)
Friendly Philippe

PhG47
Text in english... The dawn was not raised. When I heard a noise of step, almost so light as that of the animal... I opened eyes and his voice begged me to close them... Since the threshold of the door, she looked at me and I understood that she went away... I heard the crackle of each of the stairs when she went down the stair, the grating of hinges when she closed the door of the house... I imagined him running in the meadow to join the old stone... It had been a long time since this place attracted him by its presence, its force,... and by the sweetness which got free of it... The old stone was on a positive point; a crossing of two telluric lines. It was as an antenna which got the energy of the place to make it shine around her,... to repel the lines of this meshing... I always knew that she liked this strange sensation to penetrate into a free space,... to cross this sort of invisible surrounding wall... She was there, in the entrance of the sanctuary, and since the threshold of this new door, she looked at me... The smell of the skin stuck on my sheets... In the lounge, the sofa still carried the track since she sat there,... and a small death had entered,... a small death which walked in the house... I did not have been able to fall asleep again, and nevertheless I had forced to stay in the bed as long as possible, without opening eyes, without listening to anything outside noises,... I had invented a story... A story where she had come down in the kitchen, to prepare some coffee. Where we would have shared the breakfast by speaking besides about the day to come... I would have visited with her all the places which we knew, as if it was the first time... We would have resumed our walk, at the rate of the hours which pass slowly... Our hands would not have left,... and it doesn't much matter,... if in this story,... at the end,... she went away...

A beautiful composition, Philippe. Nice lighting, pose and tussocks of grass. Good images always spark / ignite our imagination to give birth to good stories, from the heart. Warm regards, from a chilly Glasgow, Ecosse, John.
