A Journey Through Color in America
On the Road of Light
A JOURNEY THROUGH LIGHT AND MOVEMENT
"To travel is to see, and to see is to lose oneself in light. The landscape does not wait—it shifts, bends, and dissolves—an invitation to chase color before it disappears."
Rooted in the tradition of the En Plein Air movement, On the Road of Light extends beyond painting to embrace the photographic medium as a way to experience the world in real time. Like the Impressionist painters who ventured outdoors to capture the fleeting qualities of light, this project rejects the constraints of the studio in favor of an immersive dialogue with the landscape, offering a way to contemplate nature. It is not about documenting places, but about experiencing them—through color, movement, and the ever-changing nature of light.
Traveling across Canada and the United States in a campervan, I let the landscape dictate the image. I did not seek the perfect shot but instead witnessed how light sculpted itself onto surfaces—water, sky, glass, the metallic reflections of gas stations at dusk. From the lakes of Ontario to the open roads of America, each place offered a new way of seeing. I never sought permanence—only the fleeting, the ephemeral, the color that exists just before it vanishes.
A DISCOVERY IN VENICE
This project began in a small bar across from Teatro La Fenice, where I noticed how the handmade glass windows transformed the outside world into painterly distortions of color and shadow. This moment—where an ordinary setting became something entirely new—became the foundation of my practice.
Stepping beyond structured compositions, On the Road of Light became an ongoing dialogue with light itself. Each image is shaped by the way the environment reacts to color, reflection, and movement. The camera does not merely capture; it listens, it translates, it moves with the moment.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TRULY SEE?
This project blurs the boundaries between abstraction and representation, asking:
What happens when we let go of form?
Can color alone evoke the emotion of a place?
Like the En Plein Air artists, I work in direct response to the changing landscape, allowing light itself to dictate the composition. On the Road of Light challenges the notion of photography, suggesting that light is the true subject—fluid, impermanent, and alive.
Through light, through time, through movement, On the Road of Light is an invitation to rediscover the world—one fleeting glow at a time.
