| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Quando una persona trova il coraggio di guardare dentro di sé , allora ha già visto abbastanza, conosce già tutto.E per questo gli occhi non servono.
All’ entrata del Partenone di Atene gli antichi Greci avevano scritto “conosci te stesso”.
Viviamo nell’oscurità soffocante solo quando non percepiamo la nostra essenza e quella degli altri.
Aprire noi stessi significa aprire le porte della percezione.
Attraverso l ‘ immagine possiamo avvicinarci alle bellezze più estasianti della vita oppure inoltrarci negli abissi più sconvolgenti e mostruosi dell’ esistenza.

===================================
In creating my pictures I use only traditional techniques of Photography .
In these 'Compositions of silence' I have been using images I created even thirty years ago with pictures I make today. This body of work is a sort of diary of my life spent in the labyrinth of Photography ‘s lights and shadows .
No digital manipulation or effect has been made by the use of computer’s softwares.
The colour reversal films and black and white negative films have been scanned and digitally printed by respecting the original images and handmade compositions.
