I am concentrated in a work mixing the imaginery of the fashion world
through people that are not related to the fashion world: the girl next door,my
daughter,my son ,friends ,neighbors...
Preparing the image like for a fashion shoot :
Clothing,background,make up,
but with the clothing that I like,that I can find anywhere in my own closet or in a
cheap store or in a press service room with no limits of what is in fashion.
A try to create beauty with anyone and everything.
Then I take some pictures.I edit the image like for a big campaign or a famous magazine and I paint with oil on big canvas the image that I have chosen.
And the goal perhaps is to glorify the moment so quick of the photography by a
process so slow (the oil painting) that I can take the time to feel again with
sensuality ,the beauty of the skin tones,of the color of the eyes,of the texture of the
hair,of the kindness of the movement or its agressivity. the luxury of a fabric or of a
an old shoe,,
A try to give legitimity to the human condition in a futile and vain world.
portraits of relatives and friends in the mood of the fashion photography.based on my own photographs ,my styling casting etc..like for a fashion edgy editorial shot..
