Carlo Diana Exhibition, Belgium

- retired teacher in mathematics

- like to travel and discover manners and customs of the people in different countries ( Europe , Africa , Asia , Mexico)

It all began in 1980 : some people contaminated by the “photography-virus” showe me the dark chamber … and thus I discovered the magic attraction of plastic arts …

The “magic box” offered me the possibility to dislocate certain objects from their everyday surroundings, putting them into an unusual frame … Since I am fond of not entirely realistic images, but rather of surrealistic creations, with a hue of mysteriousness and fantasy, I prefer to focus on irreal situations and atmospheric pictures …

And in order to evoke these subjects as truly as possible, quite soon I started searching for particular developing techniques, and tried to regard black-and-white photos as colour slides. Photography in all its aspects became my favourite pastime occupation, moreover, it is a passionate hobby which has given me a lot of pleasure and satisfaction. It enabled me to discover a new world, besides, it enriched my life with many new acquaintances …

I am convinced that in our small world of amateur-photographers Friendship counts as much as a collection of medals … and maybe even more !!!
