About Me
Sev Waënelin is a French poet, painter, and photographer.
I was born in 1976 near Paris, France. Literary at heart, I started writing poetry as a teenager, with a feeling that I couldn't express myself any other way. I got a master's degree in Philosophy from the university of Sorbonne, and a few years later I passed the CAPLP (French Certificate of aptitude for teaching in professional high schools) for French literature and English.
Versatile and naturally curious, I held many different jobs while traveling often to meet another of my passions: horses. Attracted to visual arts as well, ...
At last my soul explodes, and wisely cries out to me: "Anywhere! Anywhere! As long as it's out of the world!"
Charles Baudelaire
Art and Poetry
Why stick to a single mode of expression ? Art and poetry are inextricably linked, and what is poetry if not the art of words. What really matters is the way we see the world. Here is mine.
Painting
Oil and Acrylics
I mostly do figurative art, though abstract can be pretty fun. As for my style, if I have one, I leave it to you to define it! Feel free to send me your feedback, it will be much appreciated.

Wonders of Nature
Without being a professional photographer, I try to honor the beauty of the world in the best possible way. Landscapes and horses are my favorite subjects.
