Italian photographer MARCELLO MARIANA takes us on a trip made of natural and artificial landscapes but let us watch these environments over its shoulders:

Currently, my work as an artist is focusing on contemporary landscape and its interactions with the human being. In my pictures, natural and artificial environment cohabit.

The leading aim of my research is to document the sublime grandiosity and the violent contradictions inherent to the panorama that’s in front of me.

Focusing on social and human environments, I am trying to depict the majesty of contemporary natural landscape, attempting in some way to harmonize it with civilization’s intrusion. These are factors that could be often labeled as “disturbing”, but that appear so frequently in our natural environment to become integral part of it, even occasionally acquiring some kind of beauty.

The human presence, performed in every photograph, stays as a testimony statement, as a real witness of the contemporary, as a unit of measure of what the world is now .” – by MARCELLO MARIANA

MARCELLO MARIANA lives and works in Andalo Valtellino, Italy and is represented by Studio Guenzani. In 2007, he won the first prize at Premio Fotografico atlante italiano 007 rischio paesaggio.

Thank you MARCELLO!
