Artist Statement

His interest in photography has grown constantly throughout the years, and has developed into a true passion in recent times. Thanks to his numerous travel opportunities, both for business and pleasure, Simone has been able to discover the beauty of this form of art in places as remote as Syria, India, Mozambique and Korea.

Having spent half of his life away from his native Italy, Simone has developed a truly international mindset and a deep interest in cultural diversity. He has lived in countries as far apart as USA, Argentina, Portugal and Hong Kong, and photography has accompanied each one of his travelling experiences.

His work focuses on three main subjects:

Motion: nothing in life is still, everything is constantly changing. These images freeze movement in time, although delivering a clear message that the very same moment is gone forever

People: we are so many, so diverse, but at the same time have so much in common. Travelling is a way to discover what we share and what makes us unique, photography is a way to capture it all

Places: nature and mankind have sometimes worked together to surround us with breathtaking wonders. It would be a pity not to explore the surprising beauty of our world

Simone currently lives in London, where he has recently participated in the “Travel Photographer of the Year” and "Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year" competitions. Details of his current exhibitions can be found in the "Exhibitions" link of this website.

If it had to be condensed in just one thought, photography allows Simone to express the way he sees the world, therefore no better title than “The World Through My Eyes” for this website.
