intimo by stefania paparelli

Stefania Paparelli is not looking to dazzle, she leaves that task to the sun which has taken residence nonchalantly in her darkroom, trasforming into celestial and elusive creatures the young girl who poses for her during the fashion session. Fashion shall always be this reassuring pretext, harmony of garment and skin, the delicate ambiance of luxury in vogue: fashion conjugates light and intimacy. What fascinates Stefania Paparelli, is without a contest, this fragile and intimate moment of silence; an affirmed loneliness as an allegiance to life. "INTIMO" is an ode to silence.

- The above text captures, so accurately, the poetic layers of meaning. How we use a medium to our own advantage--to display or offer a more intimate and hidden gesture that we, The Artist, feel imprisoned by, or rather, believe we have a loyalty to. And by virtue of this loyalty, we spend our days enraptured in producing the effect we are held smitten by for the outside world to see, experience and eventually be elevated by. At times, I must stop and remind myself that a medium or format needs only be the pretext that will help me expose what I really mean to share. -
