The pursuit of harmony between tradition and innovation. Dialogues between different landscapes. 2025, Kyoto

In my visual storytelling, the concept of fullness and emptiness is of paramount importance, as it aims to sensitively evoke the essence of my narrative. Between the spaces filled with seasonal herbs and flowers, empty areas emerge, overlapping with a photographic image of a maiko met in Kyoto on a special occasion. This figure represents one of the most authentic symbols of Japanese tradition, a living cultural heritage. Full and empty intertwine in a symbiotic relationship, seeking a balance that seems to dance in space. The essence of the tale reveals to each person an almost invisible and hidden part of the narrative. It is as if what one perceives when observing the art work is not immediately evident, but manifests itself later, enriching and completing the authenticity of my pictorial story.
