A photographic and graphic project of pure madness and constant experimentation: my vision of life through the observation of Mother Nature.

In a world steeped in superficiality, I have learned from Nature a profound simplicity that embraces every branch, leaf, and flower. Since childhood, observing nature has been my refuge—especially in moments of darkness, when the sight of a blossoming was capable of restoring my smile. Over time, I discovered the healing power of this connection and, through a deep inner work, I began to bridge the outer world with my inner one, developing an increasingly intimate, symbiotic, and symbolic relationship with natural elements.

Like an impressionist, I started capturing photographs of Nature as reflections of my emotional states, using it as an inner mirror. This gave birth to my project, “NATURA VIVA – LIFE IS ART,” where Nature becomes a living, visual art, capable of giving meaning to the shifting restlessness of existence, of becoming memory and reminder, warning and guidance, peace and unrest.

It is often said that plants do not feel emotions, but I prefer to believe that they are capable of experiencing only the purest, most divine ones. What, then, distinguishes us from plants?
