Description from the seller
**Agata**
A contemporary photographic re-reading of the figure of Saint Agatha, in dialogue with the tradition of sacred painting.
The body emerges from the shadow through a warm, selective light. The red drape accompanies the torsion of the figure, while closed eyes and a hand turned to the neck suggest a moment of contemplation. The tension of the pose unites vulnerability and steadiness, entrusting the gesture with the intensity of the representation.
The photograph arises from a preparatory shoot for a mural project devoted to Saint Agatha by the artist Gabriele Quarta Kabo, and is presented as an autonomous photographic work.
Photography and post-production: Tatiana Cardellicchio.

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.
Graduated in Photography from the Italian Institute of Photography, she builds narratives suspended between aesthetics and awareness. Through self-portraiture and constructed 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 the Prix de la Photographie Paris in the Portrait/Self-Portrait category for the project Impatto.
Her works have been exhibited in international contexts, including ImageNation Paris, London, and New York, as well as in 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-portraiture, emotional ecology, and aesthetic identity.
