entry description
There are two very precise periods in the life of a young human being, that of childhood and that of adolescence and the transition from one to the other is almost clear. A 13-year-old boy lives this "mutation" unconsciously. Suddenly his interests change, they become others, more adults but there is still a moment in which, with closed eyes, the vulnerability of the dreaming, fantastic child who is serene returns. A shell, a branch, papier-mache horns or a simple egg, become a harmonious remembrance not too far in the memory but still a remembrance, a dream. But then, with open eyes, the dream gives way to the reality, bitter at times, of daily growth.about the photographer
Antonio Delluzio, originally from Lecce (Italy), graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in the city where he was born. At the age of 18 he was given his first analogue SLR and immediately fell in love. During the years of academy he learned the tricks of the darkroom and the passion for the photographic tool increased.He has always been attracted to what is behind, or inside the human being. He always seeks a dialogue with his spiritual side, with that hidden part, in memory, in history and in photography, as well as in painting.
Since 1998 he has been living in Milan where he is a Graphic Designer for Corriere della Sera and, in the meantime, he continues to frequent the art world both as a painter and as a photographer with participation in exhibitions and competitions, receiving some recognition.
