Syren BY Patrizia Burra
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by
Patrizia Burra from Gorizia, Italy
I am a painter and photographer. Painting gives a lot of energy, but it doesn't allows you to catch the moment. This is one of the main factor that lead me to the conclusion that I could not be a painter only. My goal, as photographer, is to translate my more wild, passionate and restless vision into an image. "With photography we try to reproduce the world. But the world is much more interesting when it becomes a work of art".
I think that photography and the images we create, are the realities transformed into dreams. Our life needs imagination, emotions, an inner impulse that leads us to create. I work every day and many hours a day. This is my way of venting, a road that may be open to everything. And it is in that way that I feel free to create. Here wonderful things can happen. Here, in this fantasy world, my creatures come to life by participating in my dreams.

BEYOND WHAT WE SEE, THERE IS WHAT WE CAN PERCEIVE
I let myself be seduced by the architectural spaces and I interpret, with my way of looking, the sensations that they suggest to me.
"I try to communicate with images the architectural essence and personality, the mark that the human being leaves in his environment, and how that environment influences the human being himself"
Sometimes they can even transform and project into another parallel universe.
