Carlo D’Orta is an artist/photographer. That is, he uses the camera not to document, but to extract from reality pictorial images that really exist, but we almost never know how to see. His main subjects are architecture. Looking at architecture he focuses on the combinations of lines and shapes that create images of geometric abstraction, and on the reflections of the glass windows that create futuristic, surrealist and abstract images. To explain his way of looking and photographing, Carlo D’Orta refers to the phrases of three great men of culture:
“If you want to teach the human eye to see in a new way, you need to show it everyday and familiar objects from totally different perspectives, situations and angles” (Aleksnadr M. Rodchenko)
“The voyage of discovery does not consist in seeking new lands, but in having new eyes” (Marcel Proust)
“Creative photography must not reproduce, but interpret, making the invisible visible” (Franco Fontana)

Sergio Ceccarani’s art transports us to a utopian elsewhere, towards distant worlds, among the stars. A universe of shapes, materials and colors that translates the vastness of his soul, always in search of new forms of expression.
During his artistic activity, his figurative production has increasingly tended towards the reduction of form to the line. A path that translates a It is true, as Yourcenar says, that music is the mystery of silence that yearns for life. The expressive power of music creates a sort of initiatory ritual, which welcomes the performer as well as the listener in a condition of regenerating abstraction. The street artist plays the violin while all around the cold metropolis transforms into the warm interior landscape of a spring celebrated by the symbolic dance of life. A path that translates into a fascinating introspective journey.
