The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Today’s featured artist: Fulvio Bonavia
BEAUTY INTERRUPTED
This series questions the nature of beauty, while simultaneously showing the beauty of nature.
When I returned to my studio in Milan just after lockdown, my aim was to capture the inherently perfect aesthetics of these plants. Maybe it was the time and place of the shoot, but something about beauty for its own sake didn’t feel quite right. As I was working, my eyes fell on a piece of plastic, which I dropped onto a flower, interrupting its beauty. In a way, this is exactly what is happening to our planet – the disturbance on nature that can no longer remain hidden.
