SHARE THE ROAD

A life spent exploring Nature

IN THE SILENCE OF NATURAL LANDSCAPES, WHERE TIME EXPANDS AND THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN BEING AND THE WORLD BECOMES BLURRED, THE ESSENCE OF MY ARTISTIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL PATH EMERGES.

MY VISION

In the silence of natural landscapes, where time expands and the border between being and the world becomes blurred, the essence of my artistic and philosophical journey emerges. My art – a combination of photography and words – becomes a ritual, a suspended moment that challenges the frenzy of modern life, inviting deep contemplation and the rediscovery of slowness as a vehicle of truth and beauty.

This vision arises from the belief that, in the digital age, we have lost the ability to stop and contemplate the depths that surround us. Every shot of mine, every text I write, is an act of resistance against superficiality and acceleration, a search for that inner silence that allows us to connect in a more authentic way with ourselves.

Time, slowing down, giving up, and observing how to stand and linger are fundamental to my practice. They are vehicles through which we can truly open our eyes to the world around us, embracing contemplation not just as an end, but as a bridge to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Through my works, I aim to promote a reflection on the importance of rediscovering the value of time spent in intimate connection with the environment. More than an aesthetic commitment, it is an invitation to greater self-awareness, recognizing how our internal actions can profoundly influence our lives and, consequently, the external world.

I invite those who approach my work to slow down with me, to value silence and contemplation as tools of knowledge and connection. Together, we can explore ways of living that celebrate the diversity of the natural and cultural world around us, finding in beauty not only a refuge, but also a powerful catalyst for personal change.

Through this artistic and philosophical exploration, I aspire to build spaces for reflection and dialogue, where art becomes a means to deepen our understanding of the world and our place in it, promoting a vision of life enriched by awareness, beauty, and a sense of personal responsibility.

This is the journey I propose, a path of rediscovery and personal commitment, where every moment of contemplation and every gesture of beauty become acts of resistance and hope for a more authentic future. In this process, personal change becomes possible through an awareness that deepens every day, inviting each of us to live with greater integrity and presence.

THE MANIFESTO

My art, a combination of photography and words, reveals itself as a ritual, a suspended moment that contrasts the frenzy of modern life, inviting deep contemplation and the rediscovery of slowness as a means of truth and beauty.

1. Time and Slowing Down: I promote an art of living that rediscovers and enhances time as a vital space, inviting us to slow down to synchronize with the natural rhythms of existence.

2. Renunciation: I firmly believe in the power of renunciation as a liberation from the superstructures that cloud our essence, allowing us to focus on what is truly significant.

3. Observing, Standing and Lingering: I explore the art of observing with intention, of sitting still and lingering in moments, as ways to open my eyes to the world around me, seeking a deeper and more authentic connection.

4. Contemplation: contemplation is the beating heart of my practice, a bridge that connects visual and spiritual experience, and that guides me to a deeper understanding of myself and the environment around me.

5. Awareness: I aspire to promote a life lived with full awareness, aware of my actions and their repercussions on the self and the external world.

6. Change: I believe that personal change, guided by awareness, is essential for a more authentic and responsible future, a change that begins within me and expands outward.

7. The We: Connection and community are key; I recognize that our individual path is deeply intertwined with that of others where with others I also identify “the beyond human”. In summary: everything is interconnected.

Through my works and my vision, I invite everyone to share this journey of rediscovery and personal commitment, where every moment of contemplation and every gesture of beauty are acts of resistance and hope. Together, we can explore new ways of living that enhance the diversity of the natural and cultural world, finding in beauty not only a refuge, but also a powerful catalyst for change.

This is the journey I propose: a path of rediscovery and personal commitment, where profound awareness translates into a more integral and present life. I invite everyone to join me in this artistic and philosophical exploration, to build together a vision of life that celebrates awareness, beauty and collective responsibility.

Nella mia breve esperienza, posso dire che la fotografia ha il potere di regalare immagini, come quella pubblicata, che lasciano lo spettatore estremamente entusiasta e meravigliato. Questo risultato è il frutto di dedizione e precisione nella scelta dei tempi e dei luoghi, ma soprattutto della volontà di confrontarsi con gli altri e con se stessi in una sorta di autocritica che porta allo studio meticoloso di ogni scatto fatto durante l’esperienza. Per me hai raggiunto un livello altissimo, tanto da far parlare le foto che esponi. Spero di poterti incontrare presto ( il problema in realtà è mio e del mio lavoro)per trascorrere del tempo insieme, confrontarci e magari fare qualche scatto insieme, ognuno con la propria visione! Complimenti davvero, certe foto sono in grado di emozionarmi profondamente. Nella tua descrizione hai usato la parola “ Faro “ nulla di più appropriato per me in quello scatto!!

Oggi mi sento di consigliarvi questa lettura. Molti anni fa ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare Filippo, un grande fotografo, ma soprattutto un vero amico. Un anima complessa e semplice allo stesso tempo. Un esploratore innamorato della natura e dei suoi misteri. Forse uno sciamano, certamente un saggio. In un epoca in cui tutto corre e scorre, sento la necessità di fermarmi, sempre più a lungo, ad ascoltare ciò che ci circonda, sottraendo l’uomo. Nella fotografia di Filippo ritrovo la pace, e rivivo l’esperienza del cammino senza meta, alla ricerca di me stesso. Ogni volta che mi fermo ad ascoltare un’immagine di Filippo, posso percepire il silenzio dell’ambiente che lo circonda e il rumore interiore che solo in montagna trova il suo punto di compensazione.
