PRINCE MICHEL DE YOUGOSLAVIE

Foyer and Belle Etage, Opera&Theatre Madlenianum

Prince Michel de Yougoslavie first Photography book recently has been published by d’Oro Collection Publishing House, printing, binding and producing hand-made books in Rome. The book will be presented in Prince Michel’s exhibition in Belgrade from 22 till 27 of September at Madlenianum Opera and Theatre. At the invitation of Mrs. Zepter Prince Michel decided to present the book first in Serbia and to expose his photos in Belgrade, after Geneva and Monaco.

Michel de Yougoslavie is a Monaco resident, grand-son of the last regent of Yugoslavia, Prince Paul, regent from 1934 to 1941. His other grand-father, from his mother side, was King Umberto II, the last king of Italy, exiled in 1946.

The Prince chose Monaco for the quality of lifestyle, his friendship with HSH Prince Albert II and his numerous friends here, but also for the incredible light of the Riviera that helps him to realise his most beautiful photographies.

The European Prince, with a strong background in finance and working in a very serious business environment in Geneva, discovered his passion for photography in 2009 when his friend and business coach, Nicole Petschek, advised him to add one or two hours of personal time to his new business schedule everyday, to concentrate on a hobby just for himself. She was helping him to develop his inner personal skills.

He bought a digital Leica camera and started going out everyday to catch images and pictures of his environment, reconnecting with pleasure and emotions. After five years of daily, silent and exclusively personal work, a friend asked him to organise an exhibition in Geneva, in 2014. An exhibition in Monaco followed in the next years, and soon many friends asked him to acquire one of his limited series photographies.

Prince Michel’s pictures are always showing a mix of strong Western European rational thinking with a touch of Eastern European mysticism. There is always a story behind each one of his photos.

Cerebral and conceptual as they may seem, even with an acid touch of humour, Michel de Yougoslavie’s Artworks unveil a very private and sophisticated view of the World. His natural observation of Life appears through his choice of subjects, everyday objects and human made products as well as living creatures and mother Nature herself.
