An island of wonders becomes a playground
Global automotive manufacturer Audi is known for its state of the art cars that pave the way for the future of the industry. Worldwide, 360o campaigns capture the essence of the brand. However, for Audi and Unicars, the Cyprus distributor, to individually connect to local markets is also part of their DNA.
This is how this project came to life. The urge to connect, be inspired, as well as bring forth the beauty of the island of Cyprus. 7 days around Cyprus with the all new Audi Q5 resulted to this photographic series.
Once you take the driver’s seat and start the engine, the all-new Audi Q5 urges you to play, climb the mountains, search for a distant shore. Because the sky is not the limit. Take the wrong turn; it’s ok. It might lead you to the best adventure you’ve ever had so far. And you have the all new Audi Q5 to lead you there.
Nature conservation has been a particular focus of Silvio’s personal projects. Such projects include ‘Red Soil’, ‘This is your Cyprus’, ‘The Balkan Lynx’ and ‘Within mountains, there lies’, all of which refer to the preservation of natural elements, landscapes and wildlife as well as recounting the experiences of those working hard for this purpose.
Silvio’s personal projects have received international distinctions; his longest-running project, ‘This is your Cyprus’, has been selected as a winning project in the PDN Perspectives Contest in 2017. At the same time, Silvio’s commissioned and commercial work share the common theme of communicating the importance of exploring and appreciating aspects of our surroundings. Such work includes projects and campaigns for Cypriot and international organisations like Cobalt Air, Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation, Cyprus Tourism Organisation, University of Cyprus, Antiquities Department, KEAN Soft Drinks and Unicars. His campaign for the later was awarded a Silver Award by the PX3 Paris Photography Prize (2018) and a Bronze Award by the Tokyo International Foto Awards (2017).
Silvio holds an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from the University of the Arts London (2016-2018) and a BA in Design from Frederick University (2006-2010).
