Giappone, Osaka. Nomina di Ambasciatrice (Goodwill Ambassador) dall'Ufficio del Turismo, Japan
I
am a fine art photographer & artist from Switzerland. I have been brought
up by an artistic family & educated in Switzerland. As a child, my father
used to gift me with books about Japanese & Persian traditional arts &
culture. This type of childhood has influenced my spirit as an artist up until
today.
Since
I was young, I have been travelling to many countries. I have visited Morocco,
Tunisia, Egypt, Mali, Kenya, India, Haiti, Poland, France, Italy, Germany,
Portugal, Spain, England & Japan.
My
artwork is mainly concerned with portraiture, especially with that of women.
With “A Cicada Singing in the Night: Memorie de Melodie” I have focussed my
attention upon key topics which are dear to me: the themes of life & death,
of presence & absence, of human emotions, of spirituality, of memories.
Kyoto
& Nara are to me a source of inspiration, an insight on the richness &
depth of Japanese traditional culture. Memories left from the past, combined with
the present are important elements of my work: I overlap coatings of colour,
lacquers & varnishes to create multiple nuances on the photographs I take, to
trace a biography of my memories. I feel that Kyoto & Nara are the ideal
symbols to express my feelings. Nature’s changing seasons, sakura blossoms
falling & the sound of cicadas singing amplify the voice of my creative
language –“un melange du passé et du
present”.
