Title: Perfectly Imperfect

About the Photos:

“Perfectly Imperfect”, self-portrait project, 2022 to date.

DESCRIPTION:
The perfect geometric figure, the circle, is broken in the representation of my logo.
This symbol is my mirror: it reflects myself and my vision of the world and it is always associated with my slogan “I try to find beauty in things that are imperfect. Like me”.
I always felt unsatisfied with today’s society’s communication. I have felt imperfect for many years in a world that would want me to be too perfect and promotes values of absolute perfection (bodies, thoughts, job career, family…) until, after years and years, I simply learned to accept myself and turn all my inadequacy into a plus.
I bring the same poetics into my art. I began to distort everything I was given by society: everything seems to be too perfect, too schematic, too pre-set, too symmetrical and at the same time so terribly unreal.
Always hovering between realism and surrealism, between irony and riddles of the modern man, I mix bright colors to give life to an environment where thanks to my art and above all, thanks to multiple self-portrait techniques, I can feel more comfortable, free and real.
