Artist Statement
Mine is a continuous search for synthesis between form and content, ethics and aesthetics. My works are emotional, surreal photographs, black and white, apparently monochromatic or with strong colors, with a great presence of black and dark tones. In recent years they have become increasingly material because materials such as paper, wood, beeswax, and natural varnishes are very important to me, as they give physicality, thickness, and tactility to my photographs.
To the aesthetic and formal expression, in my works, is added a strong conceptual elaboration because I know I am not telling an objective reality but instead showing stories of people, concepts, and worlds as I feel them through the filters of my experience, my culture, and my feelings. Moreover, each of my work cycles is the visual transposition of themes that have fascinated me and that I have studied for months or years. It is my way of putting my knowledge and my need to share them in black and white. No less important to me is the presence of a deep and constant research on the relationship between the photographer and the camera and on the entire photographic process.
