We sometimes observe a piece of wood worn by the sea, a rock scarred by the wind, or worn away by a river; in our subconscious these visions transform, thanks to our memory, and are translated into familiar shapes.
"anatomies paréidoliques" the title of this research of mine is a journey into the magical world where light plays with surfaces, yielding powerful and evocative images.
This black-and-white triptych, printed in black and white, is already framed and ready to hang.

Tommaso Grella was born in Roccapiemonte on October 29, 1973, and, while still very young, he devoted himself to fine art and documentary photography.
Her works, both photographic and painterly, are exhibited in various exhibitions at the Diocesan Caritas of Salerno.
Founder of the association "Bianco Fotografico" in 1996, with which he presents various events.
Project together with others 'Estate in Villa', the 1997 series 'Quetzalcóatl', in 1998 'Visione Zen', and also 'On Voyage' are inspired by the great American photographer Lee Friedlander.
The 1998 work "Dream" is, instead, an homage to cinematography; among them it is influenced by the works of Michelangelo Antonioni, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Terrence Malick, Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, and Bernardo Bertolucci.
Collaborate as a photographer for the magazine 'Sposa Magazine'.
Subsequent works draw inspiration from the giants of world photography: Sarah Moon, Masao Yamamoto, Peter Lindbergh, Ralph Gibson, Joel-Peter Witkin, Josef Koudelka, Mimmo Jodice.
He continues with several solo exhibitions, and in 1999 opens a studio-gallery in the province of Salerno, focusing on ceremonial photo reportage; he publishes various art calendars for the region.
They are successfully engaged in advertising and industrial photography.
In digital photography and in other trade magazines, they publish his/her photos.
They become passionate about web design and the new opportunities the web offers, blending traditional photography techniques with next-generation software.
Over the years, further research has followed; in the portfolio section, next to the title of the work, the series to which it belongs is indicated.
A core pillar of his work is to capture unconventional images capable of awakening the conscience with themes such as: a reflection on the relationship now dormant with divinity, the nature that is within us but forgotten, the diminished daily affections, and the alien gaze on what one wants to define as reality.
Immersion in a dreamlike world can only do us good, as our being is lobotomized by ethical and economic values that do not belong to us, opening doors to other realities mistreated by modern society, but worthy of attention and dignity.
