Artist Statement:  For an artist like Barbagelata, art is an open dialogue with the world, where the other side of the mirror reflects a sphere of experiences in which the physical and the abstract coexist harmoniously. It is as if a unique environment of perceptions emerged, mixing the real and the oneiric, the lived and the imagined - an intersection between the palpable and the invented, where we perceive the succession of life's many layers.

Artist Statement:  I strive to create thought-provoking pieces that challenge viewers to consider the ways in which technology is shaping our world. By blending traditional photographic techniques with cutting-edge technologies, like AI, my projects invite the viewer to question their relationship with technology and the role it plays in our lives.
