Part of Salvatore Arnone’s critically acclaimed Lullaby series—built as a second chapter to push further the psychological paths explored in Paranoia—this unique physical creation treats the composition canvas as an analytical laboratory for sub-surface identity dynamics, framing images shot over a range of 7 years to emphasize the recurring topics of his practice. The vertical arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm, isolating a bare-chested dark-skinned model whose classical beauty is dynamically juxtaposed against a chaotic background of old-fashioned floral textiles. Bathed in a soft, controlled light field that accentuates skin textures and deep shadow lines, this calculated visual strategy transforms a personal portrait into an undeniable architectural gravity for top-tier collections.
Lullaby is the second chapter of a larger body of work that pushes further the themes and ideas explored in the series Paranoia. Again this collection of color photography was arranged ‘a posteriori’ with pictures shot over a range of 7 years stressing the constant interest of the author for the same recurring topics.

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.
