Artist Statement
Luca Gaetano Pira is a photographer currently based in Madrid with an addiction for traveling. His lively and sensual photography explores the fusion between the human presence with the pure wildness of nature. His models, male or female, are often depicted naked into dreamy landscapes to emphasize the ancestral connection we have with the environment which surrounds us. His aim is to move the watcher's mind while at the same time to harshly criticize through the composition of intimate and enchanting images with the brutality of human behaviour. In his photographic research, social criticism and the big love for the natural world is always at the center. Elegant and athletic figures whirl or just simply lie down in enchanting places which also show his big passion in exploring new territories. A ravishing photography and a brilliant mind in constant motion In the last few years, he decided to combine his passion for photography with his political sentiment to achieve photographic projects in criticism of this sick society that relentlessly pollutes, destroys, controls and massacres.
