LUISA MONTAGNA

ARTIST'S STATEMENT //

My journey into the arts began with music. With a Level II Academic Diploma in Cello, I spent a decade performing as an orchestra professor and chamber musician, immersing myself in the world of sound, rhythm, and harmony. But creativity is fluid, and over time, my artistic expression found a new voice.

For years, I worked in Visual Communication, always drawn to painting and the visual arts. Photography entered my life unexpectedly, a gift that sparked an unforeseen transformation. From the moment I picked up my first camera, I realized that I wasn’t interested in documenting the world as it is, but rather in reimagining it. Photography became my language — a way to translate emotions, memories, and perceptions into images that blur the line between reality and illusion.

I began with documentary reportage, capturing moments of truth and human experience. But as my artistic voice evolved, so did my approach. My images now live in a space where layers of meaning intertwine, where elements dissolve and reconstruct themselves, creating fragmented realities that reflect my inner vision.

This journey has led me to international recognition, with Honorable Mentions in competitions such as the Monochrome Photography Awards, ND Awards, Monovisions Photography Awards, Chromatic Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, IPA International Photography Awards, BIFA, and Trieste Photo Days. My work has been published in books and online magazines, further solidifying my place in the photographic world.
