The works of Luca Pierro express a micro and macro cosmos, where the figure of the artist, who is also the one who photographs, force-fully enters the scene. The protagonist of the portraits is the same photographer. There are shots in his intent to escape the “already seen “to” already done “. He explores new and un-spoiled paths, from the point of origin of man himself, with the use of natural elements such as:

flour, land, water, clay and so on. All elements that lead back to “Mother Earth”. For the art-ist is important the traceability of the material used to leave on the surfaces portrayed.The body becomes the vehicle of expression. The artist undermines the concept of tradition-al portrait (beautiful) to introduce viewers to new dynamics.

“The first time I saw Luca Pierro’s photos I found they were at least 70% photoshoped, but they were not. This photographer try to reach the effects, textures and lights with the less manipulation as possible, so he uses a lot of materials like fluor, milk, water and other. The results are
pretty magnific, I must admit they speak by themselves.”Abduzeedo.com

HANDSSpeaking with our hands is something most of us do without even thinking – it just happens!Hand gestures can mean so many different things to different people in different situations.Think about a simple wave of the hand – what could that mean? Of course, the meaning differs depending on the speech which accompanies it, body language and facial expressions and also, importantly, the cultural, social, geograph-ical and historical context of the gesture.

Scream in the nightKick and skrikeLike a newbornHolding me shakingAwake in the darkAll of these promisesKept and unbrokenTracing the scarsTracing the scarsEven and coldAs we both become older.Your arms bound about meThe hush in your voice.The warmth of your fingersEntwined around mineIn the eve of our livesNever a choice.
