Franz von Stuck ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Stuck ) is a symbolist painter I like very much. He was apparently obsessed by sin, which he portrayed a few times, in the shape of a woman in dark shadows.
Here I re-imagined a few of his paintings:
1 and 2. Circe
3. wounded amazon
4. the sin
5. Susanna in the bath
model: Valeria Furbo
My statement is perfectly summarized by Castaneda's Don Juan:
“For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that has heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly "
I hope that this portfolio can highlight the different directions that my work is trying to cover, from nude to industrial photography, to abandons, to paintings, with a growing interest in nudes and pictorialism.
I use digital cameras and large format (4x5) film cameras, in addition to self-built high resolution digital backs.
