"Archetype" è una collezione di fotografie astratte. Le foto sono state scattate con una fotocamera modello "Yashica" della fine degli anni '80, con una pellicola ILFORD. Gli scatti sono stati sviluppati su carta e poi scannerizzati a 600 dpi e rielaborati digitalmente con colori a 2 o 3 toni. Archetype è una ricerca dell’immagine ancestrale: ciò che l’umanità percepiva nel mondo incontaminato nei tempi preistorici. L’opera è una rappresentazione astratta di una rete posta su una fessura di una parete scolpita a mano. La silhouette sembra riflettere un’ombra sul terreno ed incute un timore verso l’esterno, formando una protezione nei momenti di buio da un luogo di cui si ha poca confidenza. Può considerarsi l’archetipo di una porta che, in tutta la sua fragilità, protegge l’uomo dall’ignoto. English version "Archetype' is a collection of abstract photographs. The photos were taken with a "Yashica" model camera from the late 1980s, using ILFORD film. The shots were developed on paper and then scanned at 600 dpi and digitally processed with 2 or 3 tone colours. Archetype is a search for the ancestral image: what humanity perceived in the pristine world in prehistoric times. The work is an abstract representation of a net placed on a crack in a hand-carved wall. The silhouette seems to reflect a shadow on the ground and instils an awe towards the outside, forming a protection in times of darkness from a place that one has little confidence in. It can be considered the archetype of a door that, in all its fragility, protects man from the unknown.

Mattia Paoli (1991) is an artist from Florence, and has been active in the artistic field for a very long time. Painting has always been an essential element of his life: he has been painting since he was a kid, mixing a wide range of artistic techniques and experimenting with creativity. Graduated in Design with honors from the University of Florence, he participates in international competitions and his artworks are appreciated and purchased by collectors around the world. His artistic research explores new creative approaches through 3D design and investigates the visual relationship between real objects and their representation. His works, with their dynamic and material surfaces, express a feeling of man's transitory existence. This caducity is the main subject of his photographic research, in which he combines analogical and digital techniques. These symbolically represent the twofold and the contraposition between positive and negative pole, which are intrinsic elements of the human essence.
