Tatiana Cardellicchio - Violet Sanctuary

Viola Sanctuary

Self-portrait
In this self-portrait, Tatiana Cardellicchio explores the encounter between her body and nature, the central theme of her photographic research. The nude figure, gathered in an intimate gesture, confronts the imposing presence of a tree in intense violet and blue tones. The disproportion between the body and the vegetation makes tangible the strength of the encounter. The landscape envelops and overwhelms while the warmth of the skin emerges from the density of the crown. Through her physical presence, the artist questions the sense of belonging to the natural world and the vulnerability that surfaces when measuring herself against it.

The work is a fine art Giclée print realized on premium satin 270 g paper in a limited edition of 20 copies at this size, using Epson UltraChrome HD that ensures intense color rendering and exceptional longevity, representing the industry standard.
