ABOUT THE ARTWORK
An ambiguous optical illusion as in the famous image "My Wife and Mother-in-Law, 1888”, where one can see both a young and an old woman. Although very different, it has inspired this photograph since it is based on the same psychological principle. The human figure can be seen as if it has its back to the viewer (the shoulder on the right is the right shoulder of the human figure) or as if it is facing us (the shoulder on the right becomes the left shoulder of the human figure). However, the position of the thumb being closest to the observer reveals that the human figure in reality has its back to the observer. This image is an allegory of the different interpretations that everyone can give to a work of art. Get in touch with the author if you're interested in purchasing a 32x48in (81x122cm) original from a limited edition of 3.

Born and raised in Italy and trained in the USA, I now live and work between Brazil and my native country. Artist Statement. I consider myself a painter who uses photography. I take photos of our inner world, of the deep emotions and moods hidden from the eyes. I make them visible and felt. Allo-Realism. Many of my images are allo-realistic. In allo-realism, an image retains a realistic foundation because, contrasting with surrealism, the unreal elements are subtle and intertwined with the realistic aspects, thereby challenging the boundaries of what is considered real and exploring the intersection between the familiar and the strange. To achieve this, I invest a significant amount of time in post-production (an average of 30–40 hours per image and up to 120). Synesthesia. My images evoke alternative perceptions of what is visually apparent (synesthesia), transforming visual input into, for example, sounds or scents. Endless Innovation. I never stop innovating. As an artist and researcher, I follow my intuition rather than market cues. Once I have done something new, it has been conquered and revealed. Therefore I move on. A keen classical pianist with a career in science behind me, in 1994 I moved to California, to attend the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. Combining these two facets of my life has enabled me to approach photography in a unique and innovative way. My unwavering technical abilities and scientific accuracy enable me to translate my artistic sensibility, keen sense of aesthetics, and vivid imagination into works of art.
