New York photographer Silvia Marinari, a summer resident of Litchfield, presents selections from her black-and-white images in “Roots and Light,” an exhibition running from August 17 to September 19.
Marinari grew up in Milan, Italy, and moved to the United States at the age of 19. Also proficient at drawing and painting, her artistic passion is black-and-white photography, dating back to a high school course taken with the renowned photographers Gian Colombo and Nick Giordano. She later pursued studies at the International Center for Photography in New York, where she learned the techniques and skills of photographic printing.
Her photographs capture images from her farflung travels through Mexico, Europe and especially her native Italy. During her summer stays in western Connecticut, she finds “an endless source of inspiration” for photographs of nature while touring the Litchfield Hills. Her Good News exhibition follows a successful show of her works in July at the Oliver Wolcott Library in Litchfield.
“What attracts my eye is the texture of subjects rich in history, whether it is an ancient tree or the cobblestones of an old village,” Marinari said. “Light has a powerful effect on me. It brings out the beauty of commonplace or overlooked scenes.”
