About this photograph :
Tuscany Waves
One of the artist’s first black and white series is dedicated to his native Tuscany. This western central region of the country is surrounded and crossed by large mountain ranges. Here Stefano Orazzini offers us an original and new way of seeing Tuscany. Black and white magnifies the landscapes with an aspect bordering abstraction.
The landscapes are refined and built upon several simple guidelines. Although they are real the motifs appear to be artefacts thanks to their depiction with black, grey and white nuances. The artist thus unveils a new world.
