Night Photography nominee

One December day I was struck by the scene I saw from my window. The fog was so thick I could barely recognize the street lamps I was used to encounter each time I went out of my door. They looked more like aliens looking at me and spreading an orange light all around, slightly lighting up a the silhouette of a tree stretching out towards the mysterious entities.

Floriana Avellino is a chameleonic photographer from Monza, Northern Italy. Being naturally allergic to labels Floriana is really inspired by any photographic genre considering each genre not so much a way of capturing reality but of interpreting and sharing a personal vision of it in a specific moment or situation. In that process the observer mixes up with their subject of observation and there she sees a chance to build a bridge towards the outer world and other human beings meeting them in what we all have got in common, inner emotions, hopes and fears.

All along her lively activity Floriana received recognition at several international awards, such as Chromatic, Creative, Fine Art, Minimalist, Monovision and the International Photography Awards.

Her work has been exhibited during several events such as the Art Shopping Fair 2023 at Carrousel du Louvre - Paris, the International Prize for Contemporary Art at Steiner Gallery - Vienna 2023; Venicephotolab 2022, LoosenArt Minimalist exhibition and Salerno Art Festival in 2022, the street Photography exhibition held by the Glasgow Gallery of Photography and the collective contemporary photography exhibition held by Margutta Gallery in Rome in 2023.
