Softness Test

Because life is hard.

Self-portrait, photography, 2023. Part of "perfectly imperfect" self-portrait project.

STATEMENT:

The perfect geometric figure, the circle, is broken in the representation of my logo. This symbol is my mirror: it reflects myself and my vision of the world and it is always associated with my slogan “I try to find beauty in things that are imperfect. Like me”.

I always felt unsatisfied with today's society's communication. I have felt imperfect for many years in a world that would want me to be too perfect and promotes values of absolute perfection (bodies, thoughts, job career, family…) until, after years and years, I simply learned to accept myself and turn all my nadequacy into a plus.

I bring the same poetics into my art.

I began to distort everything I was given by society: everything seems to be too perfect, too schematic, too pre-set, too symmetrical and at the same time so terribly unreal. Always hovering between realism and surrealism, between irony and riddles of the modern man, I mix bright colors to give life to an environment where thanks to my art and above all, thanks to multiple self-portrait techniques, I can feel more comfortable, free and real.
