Self-Portraits by Fabiola Viviano
Self-Portraits by Fabiola Viviano.
The original profile introduced Fabiola Viviano as a self-taught photographer and digital artist based in Turin at the time of publication.
I’ve always drawn and since 2012 I decided to experiment with photography. Passion has born immediately and my favorite genres are surreal and portraits. I love to express concepts or represent metaphorically something and the subjects of my pictures are often the self-portraits.”
For me shooting is not just capture an image and make it perfect from a technical point of view with skill, expertise and instrumentation suitable. The photo must be able to bring in moments of reflection. If I’m able to transmit at least a little bit of this, it means that the picute becomes a work of art. Art means being able to convey emotions, it is a search for values, the ability to be able to see beyond what I see. The art is to bring the viewer to thoughts of imagination and fantasy.”
