I was born in
Bari in 1964. After graduating in Foreign languages, I moved to France where I
lived and worked for 6 years, between Paris and Nice. My relationship with photography started in the eighties when taking photos
and printing them in my darkroom became the way to express my deepest emotions.
Since then, photography is an inner
journey, vital to me. When
I switched from analogue to digital, I was quite seduced by the multiple
possibilities of experimenting in post-processing, in my virtual darkroom.
Today, beyond the technical aspects, I like challenging the rules to highlight
forms and textures. Much of my work focuses on the language of nature: it is in
the natural world and its less 'visible' aspects that I look for subjects to
create something that resonates emotionally. I think that very simple elements
can sometimes evoke parallel worlds, opening gateways to an unconscious and
dreamlike dimension, so that the space explored outside can make 'visible' my
inner gaze.
