Italia

In multiple trips to Italy, I try to capture the heat of the south, the beauty and the desolation of a country, which has always been a place of longing and freedom. Countless artists, writers, creatives went centuries ago on "Italian travels" to find new inspiration. In modern times, there were tourists and escapists who hoped to find distraction, relaxation and perhaps also cultural exchange in Italy. Thus the country in southern Europe was always associated with the concept of „freedom“, it was the aim of those who wanted to break out of their routines. In recent times, the country is mostly known for corruption, political problems and weak economic structures.
