Everything that's 'less' in a picture allows the viewer more fantasy and freedom of interpretation, because everyone understands images and words in different ways. As an example, if I think about the word 'home,' I imagine my home in a mountain village where I grew up. Someone from New York imagines his 'home' completely different from me. This is where I have found a disconnect of communication, especially in the medium of photography. From here, my work started more specifically down this path as I continued to travel around the world focusing more sharply on these thoughts. I don't wish to impose my thoughts or my political opinion through my photography; I want people to be able to travel with their own thoughts and their own view through my pictures. This approach, this sensibility, is what lead me towards "Desert Essential Series" where the object is to represent the real essence of things and the deserts helps to reach this goal. With the series "Desert Essential" i leave the viewer travel with his own thoughts where he want.

About author:
Borned in 1982 in Bormio, an Alpine Mountain Village. Everything that's 'less' in a picture allows the viewer more fantasy and freedom of interpretation, because everyone understands images and words in different ways. As an example, if I think about the word 'home,' I imagine my home in a mountain village where I grew up. Someone from New York imagines his 'home' completely different from me. This is where I have found a disconnect of communication, especially in the medium of photography.

I don't wish to impose my thoughts or my political opinion through my photography; I want people to be able to travel with their own thoughts and their own view through my pictures. This approach, this sensibility, is what lead me towards minimalism. This path doesn't end here, I'm working right now on light and its ability to speak to us. It will take time and the little steps which aid me to reach a larger sense of truth in what I'm doing.BACK TO GALLERY
