Roberto Colombo (1955)
I completed the classical studies, but at the end, I got degree in Chemical and Pharmaceutical sciences. Since adolescence, I engage myself in painting and music. In the middle of 70s I discovered photography. In the 1980s, work and family reduced photographic activity to almost zero. I resumed photography in 2007 following a trip to the USA. I think Photography is not only a search for beauty in the hidden folds of man, society and nature. It is a way of telling our life, our emotions, our beliefs and ourselves. It is experimentation also. My "Creative Projects" are an attempt at photographic abstraction. An attempt to return images to the essential factors: light and color as generators of emotions and sometimes imaginary shapes
For about 5 years I conduct an experiment based on the research of dynamic light, shapes and colors obtained through the refraction and diffraction of light
passing through common domestic materials. Three years ago, I decided to get back
to bring my work in national and international events, obtaining to be present
with images, Awards and Honorable mentions in over 25 countries.
Mid March 2022 I was awarded the FIAP Artist's honor by the
International Federation of Photographic Art.
