About the Artists

Bruno Caponi







"Art must not reproduce the visible, but make it visible" - Paul Klee. Caponi's paintings have no words, but if they could they would talk with fearful verbs such as de-sediment and decompose. It would look like a road of rarefaction and abstraction, but, as Picasso well said, abstract art does not exist. The idea of an object leaves an indelible shadow. Caponi is obsessed by the idea of catching the universal magnitude in the small things. The sea looks apparently flat, but hides shivering mysteries and depths. His repertory fluctuates and moves. His poetry found a new layer of language and emotion in still life.

Abner Marzi



I believe the human body needs to be considered deeply; it has always been a vast vehicle of meanings. My research and my investigation is dedicated to the body and human beings, but I see them differently than the media. In this era, when advertisements tell us how to dress, to adorn our bodies, I try to bring the man back to his essence, his nudity, his sensitivity, to his flesh. My hope is to achieve a new perception of our being and our human condition. Sometimes the presence of the human figure is not necessary to represent meanings, conditions or moods, at this moment, the image becomes abstract and changes one’s appearance into pure color.

Esther Glina Montagne





"Shaken not stirred". This artwork depicts the total destruction of buildings, with fragments of twisted metal. The ash represents the lives that were destroyed underneath. Each canvas has a piece of metal found beneath the railroad tracks at Birkenau that led to the gas chambers, and a stone from Auchwitz which stands for strength and permanence. With each stone, new buildings will rise and as the ash settles new life will grow. I have attempted to capture a sense of hope thru the grey stillness, and yet there is no calm!

Nicholas Roberti





For decades I have been enthralled and awed by the pleasure given by light and shadow. Everyone sees the things I photograph. My views and feelings are no better nor worse than the next persons. I use the camera as a kind of sketch book and in the darkroom try to create a final print that expresses my particular feelings. All of my works represent those attempts to recreate and share them. The toned gelatin silver print, with its rich, subtle and varied tones, is particularly suited for expression of those feelings. Of course, it is illusory as each is but a flat piece of paper. The creation of the illusion is my passion. There are no meanings, hidden or otherwise. All of my work is done by me, one print at a time. I hope that you will get as much pleasure from them as I.
