Pardo Iannini

Artist Statement

The opportunity of seeing something that has both a strangeness and a hidden beauty has always fascinated me. This is an innate energy of the subject to which I respond, an internal voice that asks me to stop and take a picture. In the beginning, I don’t always now what is luring me. It is as if something hidden behind a curtain reveals itself only when I click the shutter. This innate energy is always talking to me, sometimes I listen to it, sometimes I don’t; but I like to wander searching to experience it .

My mission is to show the beauty of the things that are not apparent, to reveal the instants when the universal is found in the particular.

A drummer since 14 year old, he studied engineering and later moved to the UK and Italy, finally arriving to the Netherlands, where he received an MBA. After years of frustration, he finally studied photography at Fotoacademie in Amsterdam. He has been exploring meditation, and different paths of spirituality.
