Biography
Gloria Bova, GloBoArt in art, is an artist and psychologist-psychotherapist Neapolitan who lives and works in Milan since 1990. An eclectic personality that combines art and science in a unique concept where the "Hidden Beauty" becomes the bridge between photography and psychotherapy.
It would be a mistake to look at his works as pure abstract games of shapes and colors, because behind his shots there is a lot of research on perception, a synesthetic sensibility with which proves that beauty and vitality are present in everything, from a napkin used, to the edge of a table.
To do this photographer the most banal everyday objects, things apparently ugly and useless, leaving that speak of that beauty too often hidden to the human eye. A positive message of hope that comes from his professional practice. And to prove that to see the beauty of life and of the people there want the eyes of the mind but the eyes of the heart, GloBoArt is a difficult choice, and uses a small compact, does not make use of any photo shoot or flash. For her light can not be that what is there and even reworking the images in post-production.
Certainly innovative artist who likes to call himself "a photojournalist of the hidden beauty" and surprise us with the simplicity of a photograph "a-technological" made of images where the object, lost its identity object, opens a perceptual worlds unsuspected. Yet it's all here, next to us.
The love of U.K. for photography was born in the 70s and developed until the early 80s when it was printing their photos and then painted with pastels and watercolors. After studying graphic undertakes the long journey in medical education that will lead to psychotherapy, without abandoning completely the "street art".
GloBoArt realized with the camera real paintings, portraying mundane everyday objects. This enables it to demonstrate that beauty is present in every object, in all that exists, but that often remains hidden from our eyes.
In the series "FotoDipinti" photographic research the artist was born of the idea of "painting" with the camera, to look into the reality of things, the colors and shapes that most resemble brushstrokes or spray gun. And these images are not digital processing, are not used artifacts. And 'only through the game of blurring and magnification that the object loses its real identity, generating a composition of forms and colors. The images of the series "Over the table" differ from those of the series "FotoDipinti" for edges and lines more defined. Games are compositional forms and colors to create the net plot of the opera. Even in these shots the subject portrayed object loses its identity, but retains some formal features that make it possible to its recognition.
G.B. with his shots can stop time and transforms what in the eyes of all it is simple in everyday image of fine art.
