These photos taken in Brittany and Sardinia transcend the boundaries of time and place to form a cohesive exploration that challenges the traditional view of nature. Inspired by Paul Valéry’s notion of imagination, I consider these rocks not just as geological formations, but as catalysts for the mind to create new forms and narratives. Wind, time and water have sculpted granites: their surface, shrouded in shadow, their sensual curves, evoke bodies, wounds, as if there was a kind of syntax underlying natural forms revealing analogies between the mineral and the anthropomorphic dimension.
I am a self-taught photographer. After graduating in Foreign languages I moved to France where I lived for 6 years, between Paris and Nice. My relationship with photography started when I discovered Edward Weston, Lucien Clergue, Mimmo Jodice, Imogen Cunningham and many other masters whose works had a strong influence on my vision. Much of my work focuses on the language of nature and on my relationship with urban space. Shadows and lights are a means to shape my reality: photography is an inner journey, dealing with emotions where outer space gives voice to my inner 'gaze'.
