Archetypes

This project explores the symbols of my homeland, the island of Capri. Elements such as rocks, the sea, and the moon are disembodied and isolated as primordial symbols. “Archetypes” is a symbolist research that interprets reality beyond the boundary of our space/time dimension.

About Artist

Davide Esposito

"In my 20s, I had a revelation in a dream, which came to me as a voice out of the void: 'If death has no meaning, how can life have any?' With this, my exploration of what's beyond reality started. My lifelong inner turmoil finally appeared as my shadow.gments I represent in my photographs." Davide Esposito carved photography as as his path (both artistically and spiritually) when he took up questioning the existence of a metaphysical realm within reality. Davide was born on December 18, 1987 in Italy. He was raised on the island of Capri, his home, which was to become his first source of inspiration. He was drawn to visual arts from a very young age, precisely the first time he looked up at Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach's paintings in our local museum when he was just a child. The striking imagery of the artist’s works and the deeper symbols created a long-lasting impression. Davide had a burning desire to look for those visions within reality. Staying true to this vision, in 2015, he realized his first photography project “Dream of a Shadow”. This marked the start of his path as an artist. After gaining recognition with international contests, he began to take on more complex projects. With his recent projects, he has been selected for prestigious awards such as C2A Creative Communication Award, Budapest International Foto Awards, Black Spider Awards, and Re-Focus Awards.
