Biography

Floriana Avellino is a contemporary photographer from Monza, Northern Italy who acknowledges big names such as Steve McCurry, Elliott Erwitt, Luigi Ghirri and Gianni Berengo Gardin as absolute models. She has always been passionate about photography, long before owing a camera. Her approach to it is rooted in cross-genre experimentalism often lying in minimalism and abstraction which are particularly effective in interpreting photography not much as a way of documenting reality but as a reflection about reality itself both on a personal and universal level.

The artist expresses therefore herself through several genres (fine art, architecture, landscape, street photography, documentary) and approaches several styles and techniques such as black and white, colors, ICM, long exposure and a fine art post-production technique that she has developed overlapping layers and generating dynamic effects sometimes integrated with long exposure.

During her activity, Avellino has been awarded in several  international photographic competitions, such as the Chromatic, Creative, Fine Art, Minimalist, Monovision Awards and the IPA (International Photography Awards). 

Her work has been exhibited during a number of international events and galleries such as Venicephotolab, Loosenart exhibitions, the Glasgow Gallery of Photography, Spazio Arte Tolomeo in Milan, Photiq Gallery at Royal Lemington spa, UK and the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris.

Avellino is also present with her projects on photographic websites and magazines like Life Framer, Spectaculum Magazine, Artdoc Magazine, Mass Magazine, Docu Magazine and Mnngful Platform.
