The artwork actively transcends the technical limitations of traditional cameras to properly depict an altered, psychological vision of reality where objective and subjective dimensions melt into one another. The vertical visual layout structures an impactful and minimalist perspective framing a complex physical sculpture composed of intertwined male body parts, torsos, and naked limbs shifting in a tight chiasmus composition. The human head field is completely transformed and crowned by a raw hand-painted and sketched vibrant red pastel line outline representing a wolf or ancient mythological beast under clean studio light.
Despite Figurative photographyremains his main form of expression, the author starts seeing some limits in this media to properly describe his altered and often dreamy vision of reality. In this series photography mixes with several other techniques (pastels, acrylic, pencil…) to represent the duality of objective/subjective, real and imaginary.

Italian artist Salvatore Arnone lives and works in Paris since 2014. After a debut of career as an engineer, he moved into jewelry design and worked for different brands around the world for almost 10 years. Despite this immersion in the creative field, at some point he felt the need to dedicate himself solely to photography and focus on his own vision. In 2010 he got published for the first time on Vanity Fair Italia and over the years his work has been displayed on several magazines and exhibitions all over the world. From the age of 25, he began to experience progressive hearing loss due to genetic cellular degeneration that forced him to use hearing aids. The lack of one sense deeply affected his perception of the world around him and his social relationships pushing him to a slow but constant process of self isolation that is well visible in all his production.
