I Gondolieri
Honored by an esteemed international panel, including directors and curators from Newsweek, Netflix,The J. Paul Getty Museum, NBC, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Calvin Klein.
In this scene, “I Gondolieri” (The Gondoliers) transforms the everyday movement of Venetian water traffic into a visualvalzer—a dynamic, rhythmic composition. By utilizing a high-contrast, saturated palette, I’ve deconstructed the traditional travel tableau to focus on the raw energy, chromatic depth, and inherent drama of human activity on the water. This study is a vivid immersion into the city’s living theater, highlighting the spontaneous performance of the gondoliers against the ancient, architectural backdrop of Venice, treating the frame not as a postcard but as a stage of light, color, and enduring form. It is a visual ode to the interplay of humanity and history, a captured moment of arrested motion in an ever-flowing city.

FEAST OF RIOMAGGIORE
Honored by an esteemed international panel, including directors and curators from Newsweek, Netflix, The J. Paul Getty Museum, NBC, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Calvin Klein.
In Feast of Riomaggiore, the night sky over Venice becomes a canvas for a Sinfonia di Fuoco—a grand, explosive movement in the city’s ongoing visual opera. Captured from the intimate perspective of a gondola, the image juxtaposes the sharp, geometric prow of the vessel with the organic, ethereal bursts of light above. This work deconstructs the traditional festival scene, focusing instead on the chromatic intensity and the rhythmic “staccato” of pyrotechnics reflecting off the lagoon’s surface. It is a study of ephemeral architecture, where light and smoke build a temporary monument to celebration, framing the ancient city not as a static relic, but as a living, breathing stage for modern spectacle.
