Biography
Storyteller | Artist. Creative artist, traveller and passionate photographer from Italy. Nino's photographic research focuses on the different personas and characters he encounters during his travels around the world. His photographs, characterised by theatricality, cultural and situational specificity mainly through portraiture and attention to detail, simulate dreams, desires, obsessions and different social states. Particularly attentive to the use of natural light within the composition of the scene, Nino seeks to capture the Soul of what is “imperceptible” to the senses, hidden in situ and in the eyes of his subjects. An intellectual photographic approach, both controlled and meditated. Between documentation and interpretation, the composition of the images linger on the relationship between the individual and the dynamics of society. Concepts of proximity and remoteness are intertwined in pictorial images, capable of immersing the viewer in a highly emotional state. Nino's practice moves between minimalistic spaces, through a reflexive and ambiguous, sensitive and fragmented narrative. His work is characteristic of the language of poetry. Starting from a specific locations, he focuses, not primarily on document as evidence of reality, but on the psychological bond between the inert characters, surrounded by void, and their social condition to locate them along a “Place / non-Place" axis.
