I have always been fascinated by performing arts photography, and for several years now I have had the opportunity to photograph dance events and demonstrations. One day, almost by chance, while reviewing photos taken during a performance, I was struck by a shot with a group of young dancers portrayed in a step that, curiously enough, resembled the shapes and colors of a group of orchids I had photographed a short time before during an international flower show.
This photographic project stems from there: a series of color diptychs, photographs patiently assembled from 2016 to the present, through which I intend to reveal the dualism between nature and dance. Not mere similarities of shapes and colors, but the expression of the intimate and deep connection between them.
A journey, like the one undertaken in the early 1900s by dancer Marie Louise Fuller, the "light fairy of the Belle Époque," exploring the rhythm and energy that animate all forms of life and give them substance and movement. And as suggested by the cycle of life itself, I tried to imagine and search in my photos for those often beautiful, sometimes less so, moments and feelings that we experience in our lives.

Blossom
Holding hands
A pocket full of posies
A shade of green
I don't fear
Human touch
The way to you
Blinded by the light
