Stefano Balma

Impermanence is the language of nature.Through my photography, I want to tell the stories whispered by the trees, carved into the rocks, and reflected in the water.

My name is Stefano Balma and I am a landscape photographer from Genoa, Italy, in 1988. In every phase of my life I have dedicated myself to some form of art, first with drawing, then with music and in 2019 I encountered photography, on the occasion of my first great trip in Morocco.

Nature has always been my main subject, but over the years I have tried to include more introspective themes in my shots, which have always been very important in my life. Attending a Buddhist community in the area, I developed a particular sensitivity towards themes such as impermanence and the flow of existence, which I have progressively tried to represent through rocks eroded by wind, the mutability of arctic landscapes and the movement of the trees.
​
Since 2023 I've started collaborations with FotoCorsi school as a tutor for photographic trips, and with the Cinque Rosso gallery for the sale of my shots.
