MAGNI-FLOWER: MAGNIFICATIONS OF ALPINE FLORA
“Everything you can imagine, nature has already created“. It’s a beautiful phrase attributed to Albert Einstein. And it came to my mind as I took this series of photos dedicated to the colors and shapes of the alpine flora. The colors present us with an incomparable palette of shades. The technique used is that of… Read More MAGNI-FLOWER: MAGNIFICATIONS OF ALPINE FLORA

Starting yesterday August 18th, right after the Palio dell’Assunta and until October 27th the magnificent Cathedral of Siena “unveils” its extraordinary marble intarsia floor.

IT’S NOT JUST LIFE THAT IS PINK… EVEN THE TORN ADVERTISING POSTERS!
It is not just life that is pink … To paraphrase the well-known French song (La vie en rose) it could be said that even the worn and torn advertising posters often reveal the pink color, as I gathered in this graphic presentation. After the advertisement has been torn and removed from the billboards, traces and… Read More IT’S NOT JUST LIFE THAT IS PINK… EVEN THE TORN ADVERTISING POSTERS!

THE TORN (PUBLI)CITY: NUMBERS & CODES LEFT ON ADVERTISING BOARDS
After the advertisement has been torn and removed from the billboards, traces and marks of ink, glue and residuals of paper can be glimpsed on the surface. In my opinion, this is a unique spectacle. An open-air exhibition. Our eye can read and admire strange shapes and a sort of codes – like the numbers… Read More THE TORN (PUBLI)CITY: NUMBERS & CODES LEFT ON ADVERTISING BOARDS
THEY AREN’T PAINTINGS OR LAND MAPS SEEN FROM A SATELLITE. THEY ARE…
They are called artificial bumps, or speed bumps… They are buildings made of rubber placed by the Municipalities to induce to slow down, so that road safety improves. They are often used in an inappropriate and exaggerated way. Often they are mixed with pedestrian crossings, thus creating strange, bizarre hybrids, on the verge of legality.… Read More THEY AREN’T PAINTINGS OR LAND MAPS SEEN FROM A SATELLITE. THEY ARE…

1969-2019, CELEBRATING THE MOON (PHOTO OF TORN PUBLICITY POSTER ON A BILLBOARD)
In my close-up photographs of decompositions and disfigurement of the urban environment, we often recognize figurative elements. As in the case of this image, captured on an advertisement board. It is not a painting. It is not an acrylic. It is not an oil. And not even a collage. It is a simple photographic image.… Read More 1969-2019, CELEBRATING THE MOON (PHOTO OF TORN PUBLICITY POSTER ON A BILLBOARD)
