Photographer Marco Simonelli
Since I was a boy I have always been fascinated by the world of photography and like any other adept of this discipline I started discovering the surrounding world by photographing what struck my imagination. Soon, however, I realized that forms, light and matter are nothing more than elements to contemplate other and less obvious aspects of reality. So I started a journey of experimentation that continues today with the same passion and unchanged enthusiasm. An enthusiasm and attention that I have also poured into commercial photography, with services to people and companies.
The various photographic experiences have allowed us to develop a critical and open attitude towards new forms of expression, especially thanks to the opportunities offered by digital technology.
Conceiving photography as art presupposes a deep knowledge of emotions, so much so that if as a photographer I saw and recorded, as an artist I began to penetrate the deepest aspects of human affairs. I like to think that artists are the uncomfortable voices of our consciences and for this reason I prefer the deepening of conceptual themes.
Technically, the school of the great masters of photography and artistic avant-gardes are still a source of great inspiration today.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The Photograph of Chaos
The matter of the universe has its own physical consistency and is able to adapt atoms to the forms known to us. However, it is only thanks to the elements of non-matter, namely energy, light, heat and sound, that it comes to life. Like matter and life arising from the primordial chaos of creation, so my photography originates from the chaotic elements of the inner universe.
It ranges in a context where the laws of time and space lose value and consistency and new concepts take shape. A dimension where I can dare and conceive, amalgamate and hypothesize. It is a creative process that feeds on the past and futuristic visions.
The images produced can be placed in the context of conceptual, surrealist and futurist photography, in a sort of temporal continuum between the various styles. I believe that the corruption of styles is fundamental for every artist. These are well-known artistic fields, open to multiple interpretations and sensitivities and where the unconscious takes over reality. The concepts expressed through the images produced, therefore, free from any constraint, range into the inner universe and feed that Chaos understood as openness and the need for a healthy liberating contamination. The photograph of Chaos is an imaginary universe, located in that middle ground that lies between the material and metaphysical dimensions of existence.
Photography as an object of furniture.
The primary function of any art form is to excite. An emotion that is born in the eyes of the beholder. With the visual arts, of which photography is part, it is possible to perpetuate this emotion through the physical possession of the work. It is one thing to see the photo on a screen and another to have it in your hands, enhance it with a beautiful frame and enjoy it in a public or private context. Each image reproduced on this site is therefore purchasable.
The photographs can be printed on various supports and sizes (precious photo cards and canvases) and will be accompanied by a special certificate of authenticity.
You can also have prints type poster 20x30 signed at the base by the author from the cost of € 80,00. The frames are not provided.
