CRITICAL NOTE:
The work is configured as a refined formal search for the plastic nude inserted into the landscape, fitting perfectly with the tradition of 20th-century research photography.
Presented in a monumental format of 120x80 cm and printed on Plexiglas, the photograph gains a unique three-dimensionality and brilliance: the reflective support enhances the depth of blacks and the brightness of whites, transforming the image into a contemporary artwork with strong conceptual and installational impact.

The aesthetic rigor and the preciousness of the piece are sealed by its exceptional rarity, being an exclusive edition limited to only 20 numbered copies, a factor that firmly positions its value on the avant-garde art collection market.
Through the adoption of a high-contrast black-and-white, amplified by the glossy Plexiglas finish, the author strips the figure of any narrative contingency to elevate it to the status of a pure sculptural element.
The human anatomy thus communicates by analogy and contrast with the rough texture of the rocky material. The large scale of the work amplifies this perception, immersing the viewer in an immersive dimension. The composition is dominated by an exaggerated verticality.
The model’s pose, characterized by raised arms framing the face, generates a linear tension that elongates the silhouette and emphasizes its ascending dynamic. Zenithal light affects the body as a volumetric modeling tool: the geometric evidence of the rib cage and the smoothness of the epidermis are sublimated by the chiaroscuro that, beneath the surface of the Plexiglas, gains the clarity of backlit marble.
From a conceptual standpoint, the image articulates a dialectic between the organic and the inorganic. The silhouette stands out against the sea horizon and the cliff, asserting itself as a connecting point between the fluidity of the aquatic element and the monumentality of stone.
This studied environmental integration shifts the center of gravity of the work from academic nudity to an aesthetic reflection on the archetype of the anthropomorphic figure immersed in primordial nature. The result is a work of extraordinary technical and formal rigor, where the choice of a contemporary support and the strict edition of 20 copies declare its uniqueness and visual sophistication.

Born in Switzerland in 1996, Alinghi developed an early passion for photography, 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 domains: artistic nude photography and motorsports.
In his work around the female figure, he seeks to capture the essence of a beauty that is both wild and raw and a serene harmonious calm. His goal 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 is committed to exploring the body in its natural environment, seeking authenticity and emotion rather than mere aesthetic." U.G.
