“The Lost Venus” is an artwork that addresses the subject of female genital mutilations and other different forms of violence against women. In the image, one can observe, surrounded by surgical instruments, the figure of a faceless woman, whose reflection in mirrors represents all the women, adult and child alike, who every day are victims of physical and psychological violence —  inhumane and atrocious actions that mutilate body and soul. #womenphotographer #stilllifephotography #stopviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #femalegenitalmutilation (at Università Padova) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChealY7oipd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❤️‍🔥I am proud to announce that I am among the finalists of the Photographic Section of the Laguna Art Prize @artelagunaprize to be held next year at the Arsenale in Venice, where I will be exhibiting my ongoing project "Delusional Parasitosis". The series stems from an investigation of mental illnesses and, above all, eating disorders. Eating is thus perceived not as a natural act but as one where food becomes, in a distorted way, an obstacle to good nutrition and happiness. The project further investigates how mental illnesses distort a person’s perception of reality. The series attempts to raise the awareness of viewers about mental illness by having them identify with subjects who experience discomfort created by the distortion of reality.

Stained glass, found in so many churches, is one of my sources of artistic inspiration. My eyes capture their beauty while my mind sets itself at ease in the contemplation of the moment. But then I get distracted by my compulsion for sweets and the concurrent fascination with the world of insects… and I end up producing Sweet Entomology, in a stained glass like design…⁣ ⁣ Le vetrate colorate che adornano tante chiese sono una delle fonti della mia ispirazione artistica. I miei occhi catturano la loro bellezza mentre la mia mente si acquieta nella contemplazione del momento presente. Poi, vengo distratta dalla mia compulsione per i dolci e dal fascino che provo per il mondo degli insetti… e finisco per produrre “Sweet Entomology”, come se fosse una vetrata colorata...

👭"Sisters" is part of the "Temporal Intersection" series. In the artwork "The Three Graces", I explore the relationship between happiness and sisterhood, inspired by beneficial divinities created by the sculptor Antonio Canova, while they are embraced in a hug among sisters, thus expressing tenderness and complicity. It was placed on exhibition at @fondazionerealsitodicarditello collab with @appunti.fotografici "Sisters" fa parte della serie "Temporal Intersection". Nell'opera le "Tre Grazie", esploro il rapporto tra felicità e sorellanza ispirata dalle divinità benefice rappresentate dallo scultore Antonio Canova, strette in un abbraccio tra sorelle che esprime tenerezza e complicità. #artoninstagram #creativeprocess #nftart #artlover #visualartist #modernartist #artcollection #illustrationdaily #artworkoftheday #artcollectors #artexhibition #canova #reggiacarditello (presso Fondazione Real Sito di Carditello) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVIApDQg_dF/?utm_medium=tumblr

⚡In the artworks coming from “Temporal Intersections” series, boundaries between the past and the present fade, allowing the observer to transcend epochal dimensions. In particular, “Do you love me” depicts a statue eroded by time, discovered in the submerged city of Baia, aguishly awaiting a WhatsApp message that may confirm that she is still in the heart of the loved one. 💔 On view at @fondazionerealsitodicarditello In collaboration with @appunti.fotografici Nymph statue from @pa_fleg And the jellyfish from the beautiful @oceanografic_vl 🦈 Nelle opere tratte dalla serie “Temporal intersections”, sfumo i confini fra passato e presente, permettendo all’osservatore di trascendere le dimensioni epocali.  In particolare, nell’opera “Do you love me”, una statua consumata dal tempo, rinvenuta nella città sommersa di Baia, aspetta angosciosamente un messaggio WhatsApp che confermi di essere ancora nel cuore dell’amato. #reggiacarditello #oceanograficovalencia #cristinaburns #baia #parcoarcheologicobaia #nft #nftart #escapism #appuntifotografici #valenciarte #whatsappart (presso Reggia di Carditello ( Caserta )) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSb1nfDDOO2/?utm_medium=tumblr
