Artist Statement:
I believe in doubt as an
essential tool for an
effective search of that
which, if it may not be called
truth, of truth may be a fair
approximation. A search that
brings about a continuous
change of perspective and that
transforms the moment, by
nature weak and fragile, into
an extraordinary building
element of a conscious
existence. The change and the
revolution of thought, of the
basic view of life, its
continuous refinement, its
incessant updating and growth
in values, are indelebly fixed
in a pohotographic image. A
fragile, almost intangible,
support, which shyly confronts
the power of the flow of time,
representing for all time that
which shall never be for all
time: the moment.
A revolutionary technique of
expression because it relates
to time in an absolutely
special way; the image, with
its multiple meanings, can
only be found if it exists in
the phographer before it is
fixed on film and must then be
reconquered when it becomes an
image to look at. A search
within a search, a continuous
collection of moments for the
moment which in the
photographic moment will be
fixed forever.

| Your Personal Biography |
Italian photographer, born in Milan, his passion for photography began in his adolescence.
During his University studies he worked as an assistant in some of the most important still life studios in Milan. While earning skills in professional photography, his personal research focalized on Fine Art Photography.
At the age of 18 he presented his first exhibit in Milan "Il Popolo del Silenzio" - "The People of Silence" an intense portrait of the clochard of Milan.
In the 1996 he published, together with Mirella Pavesi "An Indian Diary" an elegant multimedia travel tale presenting the authors’ journey through southern India, written in a concise style, accompanied by 200 black and white photographs.
In September 2001 he shoots "Only for Light and Quiet" ("Per sola luce e quiete") an intense perception of the power of light and the extraordinary quiet which characterizes the magnificent landscapes of the Sardinian Island.
Part of the show is presented in Paris during the PARIS PHOTO and 5 images are selected to be part of the prestigious photography collection of the BIBLIOTHEQUE NATIONALE DE FRANCE.
In his work The "Cimitero Monumentale", the famous monumental cemetery of Milan is explored in a somehow unexpected emotional and strong way giving "life" to the imposing statues of the graveyard.
His latest works are:
-"Un Petit Regard sur la Ville (Paris)" a intimate and personal glance on one of the world's most photographed cities.
-"Here I lived, for Some Time" an intense journey inside the Italian Emilia Romagna region where he used to live for the past 15 years.
- "Inebriante lucentezza - Exciting Brightness" an hommage to the extraordinary light of the Dordogne and Charante. |
