The series “The Dictatorship of Petals” is a new series of photographs exploring the relationship between the human figure and the elements in the scene, particularly flowers. Visually evocative of painters such as Magritte, the series also explores the obsession with beauty and perfection. The petals, with their geometric perfection and vivid color, become a metaphor for the human desire for aesthetics above all else, at the expense of truth or identity (which is why the face is always concealed).
Careful shipping:
Shipped unframed in a protective tube for optimal protection during transport.
Bio
Tatiana Cardellicchio is an Italian visual artist and photographer whose vision draws on the light of Southern Italy, transforming it into poetic material. Her work investigates the relationship between the body, identity, nature, and the gaze, focusing on how identity is shaped, masked, and negotiated through aesthetic codes.
A graduate in Photography from the Italian Institute of Photography, she creates narratives suspended between aesthetics and awareness. Through self-portraiture and constructed scenes, she uses the body as both subject and material, turning photography into a space for inquiry rather than mere representation.
Her work explores the tension between beauty and power, adornment 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 attentiveness, questioning how bodies are seen, inhabited, and understood.
In 2025, she was named Floral Artist of the Year 2025, with a publication by Artist of the Year Award, and received the IPFA Award 2025 – Awarded Solo Exhibition, with a solo exhibition in Brazil in 2026. In 2026, she also received First Prize in 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 work has been exhibited internationally, including at 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 distinctive poetics, moving between self-representation, emotional ecology, and aesthetic identity.
