Luigi Ontani, Marco Tirelli, Jacques Monory, Enzo Cucchi, Jannis Kounellis, are just some of the artists that Maurizio Valdarnini portrayed in the intimacy of their ateliers where their works and the tools with which they usually create contribute to defining their personality.
By skilfully bypassing the traditional cliché of celebrative portraits, the photographer was able to transform the encounter with these artists into a moment of sincere truth thus allowing the viewer to get straight to the man and his creative world.
