karmilla shelly biography


I am an Italian artist and art photographer. I have a degree in Contemporary Art, I also studied scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. I use photography and video as creative mediums, I identify as a seeker of beauty. My style involves a constant exploration of human existence, the impulses of the soul and the beauty that occasionally transforms creating compositions with dreamlike, surreal, glitch and grotesque references. In addition to pure photography, I employ graphic manipulation sometimes combined with 3D scenic elements, to craft or reimagine fantasy narratives or nocturnal images with portraits permeated by sensuality and mystery. In the last years I have ventured out in NFTs, continuing to experiment various digital postproduction techniques, fusing them to manually create my works, always anchored to the fundamentals of photography.
