Macro photographic series of crystals, known as agate, which is a variety of translucent quartz. This is a crystal characterized by its varied colors and arranged in parallel, straight and concentric bands, which creates this surprising effect when viewed closely.
This is a serious that explores how light reacts by passing through these crystals, exalting their colors, shapes and textures, creating incredible patterns with unique designs and vibrant shades.
Through the use of a macro perspective my purpose is to show a hidden world, a crypto-word, that only nature would be able to build, making it possible to expose structures that normally could not be admired by the naked eye.
It is fascinating how we can identify in these abstract patterns and organic formations, characteristics analogous to much larger natural elements of our planet. Rivers, seas, mountains, waves, beaches, rock, ice, water. Each crystal appears to be from a separate universe with its completely individual compositions.
Because of this similarity these photographs appear to be of a fluid, ever-moving world, but in reality they are immobilized and eternalized in every part of these crystals.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Fine Art photographer based in São Paulo/Brazil, Bruno Militelli is a contemporary visual artist who uses macro photography to present a unique portfolio focused on the processes, elements and experiments that permeate his creations.
Between abstraction and figuration, Bruno Militelli captures nature in its finest details. With the macro photography as a stepping stone, the artist overcomes the limits of vision and enters the minutiae of each of the photographed objects. Precision and focus are guides to the process, the poetics of the work develops, with near laboratory techniques, from the uncovering of the particularities of nature that fail to be seen or even go easily unnoticed.
Compositions made from the manipulation of objects, lights and color enable sensible gaze and incite curiosity, Bruno portrays nature as abstract manifestation, transcending the materiality of the elements which it is composed of.
