Allegories of life, lessons of nature
A fantastic and imaginary world where animals, common objects and nature meet in surreal
atmospheres.
"Allegories of life, lessons of nature" is a series of photos with allegorical and
metaphorical meanings about life.
Living in the countryside, surrounded by 15 dogs, 2 cats, chickens, horses and all kinds
of farm animals, fruit and olive trees and plantations are an inexhaustible source of
ideas and inspiration for my work.
I love to dress animals and common objects with symbolic meanings so they can take life
completely integrated in the narrative plot.
My sensitivity to the defense of animals and my love and commitment to the preservation of
nature are reflected in these works.
Alessandra Favetto is a self-taught fine art photographer and visual artist.
Born in Italy in 1968, working and living in Spain, Sevilla, since 2005. Artistically she started her journey in fine art photography in 2013 when she discovered her passion for self-portrait, image manipulation and digital art.
She is best known for her extensive work in self-portraits and for her surreal photo montages.
Her style is true, passionate and very emotional. In her images there are always concepts and meanings that go far behind what a viewer can see, leaving a door open for a subjective interpretation.
