Description from the seller
Limited edition of 20 copies, each signed and numbered on the back
Authenticity guaranteed: each copy is accompanied by a hand-stamped and hand-signed certificate of authenticity, which guarantees the provenance and uniqueness of the work.
Each work is also accompanied by a page explaining the shot and the photographer's bio included in the shipment.
High-quality baritata giclée paper using Epson UltraChrome HD inks, ensuring exceptional longevity and rich colors.
Note: in many self-portraits, including this one, the self-portrait is seen in the photographer’s hand
The work measures 30 x 40 cm INCLUDING white border
The series "The Dictatorship of Petals" is a new series of photographs in which the relationship between the human figure and the elements of the scene, particularly flowers, is explored. Visually reminiscent of painters like Magritte, the series also explores the obsession with beauty and perfection. The petals, with their geometric perfection and vivid color, become a metaphor for humanity’s desire for aesthetics above all, at the expense of truth or identity (for this reason the face is always concealed).
Careful shipping: Delivered in a protective tube without a frame, for optimal protection during transport.
Bio
Tatiana Cardellicchio is an Italian visual artist and photographer whose gaze is nourished by the light of Southern Italy, transformed into poetic matter. Her research investigates the relationship between body, identity, nature, and gaze, focusing on how identity is shaped, masked, and negotiated through aesthetic codes.
She graduated in Photography at the Italian Institute of Photography, building suspended narratives between aesthetics and awareness. Through self-portrait and staged scenes, she uses the body as subject and material, turning photography into a space of inquiry rather than mere representation.
Her work explores the tension between beauty and power, ornament and resistance, surface and depth. Flowers, fabrics, light, and symbolic objects recur as visual devices that appear decorative but reveal mechanisms of control, visibility, and transformation. Her images invite slowness, listening, and attention, questioning how bodies are seen, inhabited, and understood.
In 2025 she was named Floral Artist of the Year 2025, with publication by Artist of the Year Award, and she received the IPFA Award 2025 – Awarded Solo Exhibition, with a solo show in Brazil in 2026. In 2026 she also received First Prize at the Motif Collective Photo Contest – Reflection. In 2024 she received the Silver Medal at Prix de la Photographie Paris in the Portrait/Self-Portrait category for the project Impacto.
Her works have been exhibited in international contexts, including ImageNation Paris, London, and New York, as well as at festivals, galleries, and museums such as Paratissima, the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, Medina Roma, and the Christos Kapralos Museum in Greece. Her practice defines a coherent and recognizable poetics, moving between self-representation, emotional ecology, and aesthetic identity.
