GOnFriday lives in Italy. She's still an art student, like Marco Arbani, what explains a lack of informations about her short career.
However, I can tell you that her talent is already recognized by great photographers such as Vernon Trent, Minon, Robert Triboli, Dan West and particularly David LeBeck. And to be followed by these experienced artists worths the best awards.
"Fearlessness"
Shooting mainly in BW, I was immediatly attracted by her emotional figure studies and portraits, very well composed.
Her nude-non nude poses are wonderfully classic, with a strange "Man Ray" touch, if I can dare the comparison.
Without any doubt, GOnFriday makes part of this new generation of photographers promised to a great future. And I'm very pleased to welcome her on board.
" Every artist, in a sense, is missionary. He tries to convey a message to his fellow man – he communicates the awesome presence of truth and beauty he discover in the world around him, in its lakes and mountains, trees, rocks and plants, in its living creatures.
" Down through the centuries poets, sculptors, painters and now photographers, have also been striving to grasp and immortalize the beauty of the human body, both male and female. I see in these forms the elemental relationship to the large forms of nature ; a sense of strength like a rock – fluidity like water – space like a mountain range.
" If I have chosen the female form in particular, it is because beauty has been debased and exploited in our sensual twentieth century. We seem to have a need to turn innocent nature into evil ugliness be the twist of the mind. Woman has been target of much that is sordid and cheap, especially in photography.
" To raise, to elevate, to endorse with timeless reverence the image of woman, has been my mission – the reason for my work."
