His work is described as more like dance:

Yves Ullens dances round his subjects like a whirling Dervish possessed by a mystical rite.
“Tracker of light”, the expression coined by Genevieve Bergé, has become his trademark, explaining the daily quest of someone who chases stardust as though in a trance, always ready to catch an image.

At the crack of dawn, just as a ray of light peeps through a thin curtain, the hunt is on. More than light, it is colour that attracts him.
This dance, which he compares to tai chi and gymnastics of the soul, creates a universe where matter, texture, shape, volume, colour and the “state of light” have their own life, freed from the purely figurative.
