SANTA in ART 2025

In October 2025, I took my first conscious step on my personal artistic journey. In Santa Margherita Ligure, at the Antico Castello venue, I showcased my work during the exhibition "Santa in Arte – Art and Sustainability," an event dedicated to contemporary art and reflection on the relationship between humans and nature, as well as the idea of sustainable development.

During the exhibition, I presented my image of light titled "Art from Nature" – a work that was much more to me than just an artistic presentation. I felt this moment as a new birth. For six years, I have been creating cycles of photography, entering into a deep state of connection with nature. I took a long time to mature before showing them to the world, naming them, and standing behind them as an artist.

In my work, I wanted to tell how I see nature – as an absolute artist, creating continuously, without boundaries and without the need to be understood. Nature, which I do not try to analyze or control, but to contemplate and admire. By photographing, I create a record of its creativity. I believe that the earth and the elements have their own code of signs, colors, lines, and shapes that I have been observing and studying for years.

At the exhibition, lasting until October 26, 2025, I presented an installation in light box technique – a photograph printed on canvas in a backlit version. Thanks to the ability to adjust the light intensity with a remote control, each viewer could independently influence the perception of the image. Some elements came to the fore, while others faded into shadow. The image changed its expression, and the interpretation became a personal, individual experience.

The light allowed me to bring out elements from the work that, combined with the illumination, took on a three-dimensional effect. Water particles began to function as separate forms, creating a new, almost tangible dimension of the image. For me, it was a form of dialogue between nature, light, and the viewer.

I am immensely grateful that I could start my artistic story right here in Liguria, sharing my concept and sensitivity. This experience confirmed to me that the right moment had come to bring my creativity into the world.

With gratitude, I thank Magdalena Kączkowska for connecting me with Barbara Cella and for her presence and support during this important time for me.

Nature reveals herself to me as a boundless creator — wild, effortless, ever-becoming.
I don’t seek to decode her logic or imitate her gestures.
I simply stand in her presence, open to wonder, allowing her brilliance to move me and reshape the way I see the world.
