    Photosatriani

    I am a curious of life with idealistic tendencies and a fighter. I believe that shadows are the necessary contrast to enhance the light. I am a lover of nature, of silence and of the inner beauty. The history of my visual creations is quite silent publicly but very rich personally, illuminated by a series of satisfactions and recognitions, such as: gold and silver winner in MUSE Awards 2023; Commended and Highly Commended in IGPOTY 2022/19/18, honorable mention in Pollux Award 2019; selected for Descubrimientos PhotoEspaña (2014), Photosaloon in Torino Fotografia (1995) and in VIPHOTO (2014). Winner of Fotonostrum AI Visual Awards 2024. Group exhibitions in: Atlántica Colectivas FotoNoviembre 2015/13; selected for the Popular Participation section GetxoPhoto 2022/20/15. Exhibitions in ”PhotoVernissage (San Petersburgo, 2012); DeARTE 2012/13 (Medinaceli); Taverna de los Mundos (Bilbao); selected works in ArtDoc, Dodho, 1X. A set of my images belongs to the funds of Tecnalia company in Bilbao, to the collection of the "Isla de Tenerife" Photography Center and to the Medicos sin Fronteras collection in Madrid.

    Call of the Atlas

    May 29, 2026
    It was eleven o'clock at night, and I was working silently in the attic, sitting at my desk. It felt like being in an anechoic chamber; only the slow, monotonous hum of the scanner filled the silence. My children were asleep in their rooms, and my wife was on the sofa in front of the television, two floors below.

    Divina Commedia through AI Art

    May 6, 2026
    Dante is considered the greatest Italian poet. Divina Commedia is the apotheosis of his genius and the nightmare for many students. I was lucky when I was 15 years old that my teacher was able to make me understand Dante through a language that facilitated the visualization of what the verses were telling. Gustave Doré's illustrations played a fundamental role in this process.

    PhilosophAIzing – from alchemy to algorithm

    Jan 9, 2026
    AI can be used in many ways that do not necessarily involve creating photographic images. But even when AI is used to produce images that appear photographic, we are not actually engaging in photography.

    Roberto Brunetti: Alchemy and algorithms, speaking to the unconscious

    Jun 27, 2025
    It was one of those days that I would call the same as a thousand others, when we immerse ourselves in socials to postpone the tediousness of real life. Sometimes I believe that Meta's algorithm perceives our moods; perhaps it measures the pressure with which we touch the screen of our mobile phone and, through an artificial intelligence, assigns it a precise mood.

    Casa e Chiesa

    Jun 6, 2025
    My origins lie in the South of Italy, in Basilicata, where the pace of time is slower. Basilicata has been forgotten and abandoned by the rest of the Italians for a long, long time. A region that suddenly took a leap in fame because oil deposits were discovered in Sauro’s Valley and because Matera and its "Sassi" entered (unfortunately) in the mass tourism circuit.

    The intervened photography of Susana Blasco

    May 2, 2025
    I met Susana ten years ago, when she had just arrived in Bilbao from her native Zaragoza. Those were the days of her Antiheroes, which despite her wishes still "haunt" her. Since then, many things have happened, and Susana has specialized in the collage of photographic images, merging her profession as a graphic designer with her love for old photographs and their intervention.

    Everything Comes: Semana Santa in a Near Future

    Apr 15, 2025
    Holy Week in Spain is something sacred: a mixture of religion, devotion, faith, idolatry, and folklore. It was to be expected that some creator would eventually put generative Artificial Intelligence at the service of this event as well. I felt that Juan Pablo de Miguel’s daring, provocative, and futuristic video proposal had a perfect place on an avant-garde, pluralistic, and international visual platform like Dodho.

    Undoubtedly, we have a public health problem in our health care system, which is still not very visible at the moment. It is not a disease per se, although this phenomenon is the cause of many major diseases and often even deaths. I am talking about obesity and in particular childhood obesity. According to the World Health Organization, 2.8 million people die each year from obesity.

    In a moment of high voltage between Photography and AIgraphy in which the old spits plague and horns on the new (as has happened since the origin of humanity), it is precisely Juan Pablo's “bicephalism” between Photography and AIgraphy that has me taken to interview him, hoping that this can make us reflect, making room for this new way of creating visual art that will surely assume a predominant position in our lives.

    Each of us needs to feel at home to be well. The concept of "home" is intimately linked to a spiritual state of well-being. To feel protected, to feel welcomed, to feel understood, to feel free to be who we intimately feel we are, to feel oneself in essence, to feel authentic; to connect with the harmonious universe, with thought, with memories, with hope for the future, with one's roots; to get rid of fears, of appearance, of complacency, of defensive armor.

    The life of a flower is short. One day of a flower corresponds roughly to ten human years. This is why flowers force us to confront the cruel fragility of life. Flowers therefore imply much more than their beauty; they remind us that even in decay the time of life passes.
