Architecture nominee

The Sea is unique enough to have inspired the finest poems and pieces of art throughout history. This does not only apply to the act of sailing like in Homer’s Odyssey, but even to the fact of living with an eye on the sea, which means having a specific mindset moulded by space, by waves and by seagull’s voice, just think of Joyce’s Dubliners.
This uniqueness arises also in peculiar architecture structures or simple shapes which belong to the Sea and the Sea alone, till the extent that when we see them in a postcard we can feel the breeze and smell the sent of the Sea.

The Sea then is one of those places which become themselves an inner matter, to the point that you don't know whether you are looking outside or projecting what you are feeling inside. This project is a tribute to the evocative power of the Sea’s shapes, colors and mood.

A contemporary photographer from Monza, Northern Italy. She has always been passionate about photography, long before owing a camera. Her approach to it is rooted in cross-genre experimentalism often lying in minimalism and abstraction which are particularly effective in interpreting photography not much as a way of documenting reality but as a reflection about reality itself both on a personal and universal level.
During her activity, Avellino has been awarded in several international photographic competitions, such as the Chromatic, Creative, Fine Art, Minimalist, Monovision Awards, Bifa and the IPA (International Photography Awards).
Her work has been exhibited during a number of international events and galleries such as Venicephotolab, Loosenart exhibitions, the Glasgow Gallery of Photography, Spazio Arte Tolomeo in Milan, Photiq Gallery at Royal Lemington spa, UK and the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris.
Avellino is also present with her projects on photographic websites and magazines like Life Framer, Spectaculum Magazine, Artdoc Magazine, Mass Magazine, Docu Magazine, Dodho Magazine and Mnngful Platform.
