The artist

"Giulio Aprin began to be passionate about photography at an early age. Photography as well as the camera have been part of his individual growth since the age of five. During high school he found himself documenting the student protests that swept the country, up to the events of 15 October 2011 in Rome for the Indignados demonstration. Those years undoubtedly marked his direction and the commitment to document events, places and people. This led him to study documentary filmmaking in London to pursue a Journalistic career. The following years took him, however, along different paths. Today Giulio is an adventure photographer, an explorer and storyteller who captures the mystery, complexity, diversity, and raw power of the natural world. He likes to capture unimaginable beauty and even resurrects worlds long lost to the human eye. Passionate about remote places he spent the last 5 years exploring desert regions of the planet such as the Wadi Rum Desert, the Namib Desert, the Sahara Desert, travelling from the Gulf countries to Jordan, from Namibia to Mauritania. His mission just started. Giulio is the founder and writer of www.wildmanlife.com "

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

"There are places where time passes slower than others, where distance does not determine space, where sand marks time. The desert teaches you to adapt to the course of the sand, dune after dune, grain, after grain. The sand is the host and we are the guests. Many civilizations have been buried by the sands of time; or maybe by the time of sand. The wind transports the sand slowly, day after day, depositing it where it encounters obstacles or where a dune has already been formed, expanding it and sometimes creating new ones. I like to imagine this process as a dance of nature. Sand, Wind and Time unite to create a superior art form. These places and their memory remain preserved here in these images immortalizing the time and the sands. "
