Description from the seller
Bruno Paolo Benedetti, born in 1954, began taking photographs in 1968, studying perspective and photo techniques. From the beginning he focused on black-and-white photography, observing the contrasts of nature, the play of light, and interpreting the reality around him. When he was 25 he began to work in the darkroom, refining his technique with filters and high-contrast films to create his first surreal and abstract photographs. At the same time he began traveling around Europe and the world: India, Nepal, Bhutan, South America, South Africa, Egypt, and the Comoros are some of the most visited places. The study of the religions, the mysticism in all of them, inspired his artistic production, especially his surreal photography, where cultural and religious archetypes are depicted.

Abstract Dark Water Reflections
Black and white photographic work characterized by strong contrast and high luminosity values. The image captures a light reflection on a dark water surface, transformed through photographic post-processing that enhances abstraction, grain, and tonal separation. The composition is entirely derived from the original photograph, with no inclusion of external or non-original visual elements.
Printed on fine art HP paper 270 gsm,
