the transmigration of the mystical and
philosophical roots of Abstract Art
to photography. The real data is not
observed in its phenomenon but in
the semantic elements that constitute
it, aiming at the extrapolation of
balanced fragments that remain
enclosed on the two-dimensional plane
of the photo. The spiritual content is
therefore no longer represented by the
painter on the canvas, but obtained
from the surrounding by reading the
same linguistic elements: points, lines,
geometries, shapes and colors. For the
principle of Equivalence, the observer
of the photos of the Hidden Harmony
will feel a psychological resonance of
quiet, of peace, which will awaken his
awareness of his presence in himself.
Everything comes from an original
unity. Art is an instrument of knowledge
that leads the individual to feel an
organic part of a Whole. Harmony is the
integration of differences in a unified
framework. In the contemporary era,
photography is the most powerful
communication tool: the diffusion
of a photo all over the world can
be instantaneous and requires no
translations. The photograph of the
Hidden Harmony writes messages
of peace in a universal figurative
language, abstracting its content from
the real data. The research is aimed at
reaching the truth, in the awareness
of the unfathomability of the mystery
and with the faith that man is on the
way towards progress that needs to be
spiritual before even material.
