AUTHOR
Simona Poncia approaches photography through a long cultural journey.
Graduated in Conservation of Cultural Heritage, she has always considered photography one of the most important forms of art.
"The camera is the equivalent of brushes and colors for the painter, it is only the instrument through which the photographer manages to make an aspect of reality immortal, in the continuous flow of time".
In her photos, mainly in black and white, silence is the protagonist, even in the frenzy of cities. Few elements, an intimate and spiritual dialogue with the observer to whom no one is allowed to participate. The essential becomes visible in her eyes.
Architectures, museums, works of art and everything that is part of her studies becomes the favorite subjects of his photos.
