A short introduction to ROMI MAEGLI’s ARTWORK
Nowadays, digitization of photography allows us to practically “paint with the camera”. The old “photo camera“, with which I successfully obtained hundreds of photographs many in black and white as well as in color, has been left behind. The digital era is revolutionizing the world and photography is not excluded. But there are still many facts to be considered. With regards to work, this investigation not only tries to assist the contemporaries to understand this transition but also will help future generations to understand which were our perceptions. Practice and analysis are a constant mission in photography. To create our own style requires us to experiment with the different image properties. The great photographers manage to retain – like the great writers – the events’ essence of the emotions, the details infinite wealth that are life’s physical and spiritual components. A good photograph is the one that is farther than pure aestheticism being capable to recreate a complete context around a representative situation considered by the photographer of interest and is willing to show to others. Romi Maegli’s work is an explosion of her spiritual restlessness which places her above the imaginable. It is a burst of life which allows us to “read” and imagine each piece in total freedom thus arriving to a personal conclusion since abstraction is nothing else than the pure creative spirit.
