CRITICAL NOTE:

In this masterful composition, the artist explores the body as a living canvas. The model's back is fully covered with an Irezumi-style tattoo, where the serpent figure and floral motifs dialogue with the natural curvature of the spine. The back pose, the profile view, evoke a sense of mysterious determination. The drawn sword and its sheath create a triangular geometry that gives stability and solemnity to the image. The black and white accentuates the contrast between pale skin and dense ink, transforming the nude into a true visual armor.

A work that celebrates the aesthetics of the “Cabinet of Curiosities”: rare, symbolic and deeply fascinating.

Premium Support: Printing on Epson Archival Mat 189 gsm paper is ideal for this shot. The matte finish allows the intricate details of the tattoo to emerge with crystal clarity, without glare, offering a rendering reminiscent of ancient Japanese woodblock prints with the precision of modern photography.

Exclusive: Limited series of only 30 copies worldwide.

Copy: Number 1/30 (The very first print in the series).
Signature: Digital signature of the artist integrated into the print + COA.

Born in Switzerland in 1996, the artist developed an early passion for photography. He then formalized his approach by pursuing university studies in photography and was quickly recognized by his peers, winning several awards for the quality of his work. The artist defines himself as an eclectic photographer, but his work focuses mainly on two distinct areas: artistic nude photography and motorsports. In his work around the female figure, he seeks to capture the essence of beauty that is both wild and raw and of a harmonious serenity. His aim is to highlight these subtle contrasts through the development of dedicated photographic series. The artist presents his work on his website and typically organizes one personal exhibition per year to share his latest creations.

“The photographer strives to explore the body in its natural environment, seeking authenticity and emotion rather than mere aesthetics.” U.G.
