paolo ventura makes miniatures and dioramas and then photographs them, which is the most basic way to describe it. a more elaborate way, is that paolo creates little scenes that hint of yesteryear and fairy tales, of european stories that were told a long time ago. imagine, if you will, a traveling theatre group stops in the woods, a man wearing a soldier's uniform and bird head masks standing amongst snow and birch trees; paolo creates beautiful scenes that are based in both in fantasy and reality.
to say that i like his work is an understatement.
but the even better part, is that paolo is a very nice guy. and he welcomed my critique and opinions of his current work.
