from portrait to self-portrait

Since 1996 Antonio Nodar photographs artists in black & white and gives them a print onto which they render their self-portrait.

Contemporary Visual Artists

A Cross Arts interaction between Photography and the Visual Arts

—————————————————————

Photographic Portrait

Who are they?

Artists from XX and XXI Century, belonging to different Visual fields, are to be portrayed and confronted to a B/W Image of Themselves.

Self-portrait

How They see themselves?

A Hard copy or Digital file is given to them, so it can freely be transformed, with their own personal Art technique.

Diptych

Both images (Portrait and Self-portrait), are set side by side, acting as a Graphic Interview. The Portrait,  is the Photographer vision of them.The Self-portrait, altered by each artist, provides an inside answer to their creative world.
