The HEKLAT Tower by Jean Nouvel is one of the newest buildings of the Paris La Défence ward. It stands high above the older concrete constructions and chimneys. The stunning contrast of shapes and materials makes me think about the 1927 movie “Metropolis” by Fritz Lang.

Former biologist and painter I am a passionate amateur photographer. Born in Italy, I now live in France. Everything I know about photography is self-educated. I’m mostly brawn to architecture and street photography. And even if my work has already received multiple international awards, I constantly try to learn how to improve it and express myself through it.
