Salvatore Arnone

Untitled VII. From The Balance Series

2022

Italian artist Salvatore Arnone lives and works in Paris since 2014. After a debut 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 was published for the first time in 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.

His images mostly gravitate around the research of a personal idea of beauty that often melts into sadness and silence, of harmony into the chaos, of balance within the imperfection that represents the leitmotif of all his body of work. The author is currently focusing not only on his personal work but also experimenting with different media other than photography.
