The new pictures by the Milan-based artist Maurizio Sapia are a further exploration of the theme of identity. Through the photographic medium, he has sought his own personal mode of expression, free from the rules of commercial photography: first using traditional photography and then computers, he has explored areas on the border between photography and painting, resulting in a very personal style. His experience in the field of digital environments then extended his interest to interactive installations.
Oreste Monaco, based in Catania (Sicily), is an art director who has lived between Milan, Barcelona and Madrid for almost 10 years. His passion for art led him to take a degree in Art Direction (Advertising) at the European Institute of Design. His nudes, created in Mediterranean locations and sometimes set in baroque light, open up a discussion about personal and social gender perception.
Andrea Christl's works are for the most part created in connection with nature. For the Freiburg-based artist, photography is like meditation, an absolute presence in the present moment.
