August Arena

An avid photographer since his early teens, August Arena received his first film camera at the age of seventeen. Through his lens, he captures fleeting moments, seeking to preserve the emotions and memories that slip through the fingers of time. He adopts the posture of an observer, sharing his point of view, while his gaze lingers on shapes and symmetries. Tinged with nostalgia, his style is expressed mainly through street photography, where he plays with lines and shadows, in search of visual harmony. Whether landscape, urban scene or still life, his images, bathed in softness, seem suspended between reality and memory, like a barely awakened dream.
