In my photo/artistic project "(Re)FineArt" I read the industrial reality with an interpretation that has a pictorial heart, selecting particular visual perspectives and views and contrasting lights and colors with poetic liturgy. The starting point are the places of heavy industry (oil, chemicals, steel). Of these places I give a visual interpretation without moralism, without the manner of reporters, but with a “metaphisical” or an "impressionistic"approach. I have taken these images in 2012 in the OMV Refinery of Schewchat (Austria) and in 2017 in ENI Refineries of Marghera and San Nazzaro.

• Biography
  Carlo D'Orta (Florence 1955). He favors the architectures, but photographing them not in a descriptive way, but to extract abstract images from architectural lines and perspectives. Since 2010 he holds personal exhibitions in museums and in galleries in the main Italian cities and foreign cities (Berlin, Frankfurt, Singapore, etc). His works are in important public and private collections collections (Bank of Italy, Italian Parliement, Stuttgart Architektenkammer, Spoleto Contemp Art Museum, Confindustria, Justice Palace in Milano, State Archive Museum in Roma, Eur spa, and others).
