Tatiana Cardellicchio - Nature Unveiled

In Nature Unveiled (self-portrait) the author captures the exact moment when the human stops being separate from the world and is absorbed into the green heart of life.

Among the silent folds of a jungle of shadow and light, a naked body offers itself to the breath of the green. The skin, like sun-warmed earth, blends with the sharp fronds of the palms, in an ancient and wild embrace.

Born in Lecce, Tatiana Cardellicchio is a visual artist and photographer whose gaze feeds on the light of the South, transformed into poetic matter. Her work unfolds as a silent dialogue between body, identity and nature, in a visual inquiry that is at once intimate and universal. A graduate in Photography from the Istituto Italiano di Fotografia, she builds suspended narratives between aesthetics and awareness, questioning contemporary identity through images that ask for slowness, listening and attention.

In 2025 she is Floral Artist of the Year 2025, published by Artist of the Year Award and IPFA Award 2025
Awarded Solo Exhibition – Brazil 2026.

In 2024 she received the Silver Medal at the Prix de la Photographie Paris in the Portrait/Self-Portrait category, for the project Impatto, a personal reflection on the bond between the body and the Salento landscape. Her works have been exhibited in international contexts (Imagenation Paris, London, New York), festivals (Paratissima), galleries and museums (Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia, Medina Roma), outlining a coherent and recognizable poetics that moves between self-representation, emotional ecology and identitary aesthetics.
