Artist and photographer, Paolo Ventura uses hybrid processes to create works on the borderline between photography and painting. In Milan: abstract projections, a homage to his hometown, he draws inspiration from 20th century Italian history and neo-realist cinema, and using different media - photography, painting, collage - composes a visual history of Milan's architecture. His artistic process begins with a photograph printed on several panels. Ventura uses painting to omit and highlight images, creating bare, surreal urban landscapes devoid of people, evoking wonder and nostalgia. Through these portraits, the author offers us a new perspective on an iconic city, transforming it into a visual metaphor for its creativity and enduring appeal.
