Claudio Silvano
Statement by Takumi Suzuki, CEO Benrido
I couldn’t be more pleased with this year’s Hariban Award winner. We again received hundreds of stunning submissions from around the globe. I know how difficult it was for our judges to choose just one winner but it was an enjoyable process for them, getting to see the talent of our entrants. There was one submission that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Claudio Silvano’s winning portfolio is a testament to his creativity and artistic vision.
Claudio grew up in Brazil and recently moved to France and his photos reflect that feeling of displacement. His shots of nature contrast with those of urban scenery, perhaps tracing his own journey in life. Claudio has a rare eye for capturing the artistry of nature and I am looking forward to having him join us at Benrido in Kyoto to see what the collotype process can further bring out his vision. I hope you will follow along with Claudio as he begins his adventure in collotype, learns a new culture, and attends Kyotographie where he’ll see his winning prints on display.
代表取締役CEO 鈴木巧からのステートメント
クラウディオさんは、ブラジルで育ち、最近フランスに移住されました。彼の写真は、その「移動」の感情が反映されています。彼の写真には、自然と、都市の風景が対照をなしており、それはおそらく、彼自身の人生における旅路をたどったものなのでしょう。クラウディオさんは、自然の中の芸術性を捉える、類稀な眼をお持ちです。京都便利堂のアトリエで、コロタイプ印刷で彼の写真の可能性を引き出せることを思うと楽しみです。クラウディオさんが、コロタイプの可能性を体験し、日本の文化に触れ、そして、彼のプリントが展示されるまでの過程を楽しみにしておいてください。是非ニュースレターを購読して今後の行方を一緒に楽しんでもらえればと思います。
