About Bruno Paolo Benedetti

 
 
  • Biography
    Bruno Paolo Benedetti, born in the year 1954, began to take pictures, studying perspective and photo techniques, in the year 1968. Since the begin he was concerned with black and white photography, observing the contrast s of the nature, the lights and interpreting the reality around him. When he was 25 he began to work in the dark room, enhancing his technique using filters, high contrast films for making his first pictures of surreal and abstract photography. At the same time he began journeying around Europe and the world: India, Nepal, Bhutan, Southern America, South Africa, Egypt, Comoros islands are some of the most visited places. The study of the religions, the mysticism in all of them, inspired his artistic production, especially his surreal photography, where cultural and religious archetypes are depicted. The abstract non objective photography is the other branch of his work. It starts from the observation of the nature in all its manifestations: water, lights, colors, shores, flowers, ice… All the colors are not elaborated and strictly natural, highlighting hidden particulars and changing the images into fluid shapes, where each  watcher can see new images created by his emotions and fantasy.

    In both styles of pictures the real world is reinterpreted giving new images of a dream world and making hidden particulars a way for new emotions.
