“The hunt begins at dawn and goes on as long as my legs can carry me. The stages are the most diverse. From the deserts of Morocco and Iran to the museums of Paris and London, from the decaying palaces of Havana to a futuristic nightclub in South Korea — these are just some of the scenes offered by over twenty countries where I’ve journeyed, in search of others and of myself.
“I have met, women, and children who seek, in silence, their true essence. These are moments of introspection, be coming reflections of our times. Places where the mouse of everyday life often drowns out the inner Light.
“The gazes of the people I have portrayed are silent screams — calls for attention to that part of ourselves that seems to have list empathy. And so, on this journey through borders and landscapes, I have gathered not only images but hidden stories.
“Each person carries a unique narrative, concealed in their depths, waiting to be understood. These images are open windows onto inner worlds, longing to draw in the viewer and spark reflection on the isolation we inhabit.
“In this dance of glances and gestures, I realized that words are often unnecessary — the eyes speak more than speech itself. From the solitude of these people, seemingly fragile, emanates a strength that captivates and provokes, giving fuse to a search in which we are all both hunter and prey.
“I hope these silent shots may reach the soul’s of many, awakening a reflection on the deep meaning of isolation in an age that is more connected than ever.” Andrea Alfieri

“Alfieri, Umbrian by birth and Tuscan by adoption, approached photography at a very young age, honing over the years a visual sensibility that combines technical rigor and emotional intensity.
After thirty years of work as a printer and proofreader, he developed a personal vision that Antonio Natali, former director of the Uffizi Gallery, describes as “rooted in the tradition of Italian painting, built on the perspectives of fifteenth-century humanism, and at the same time close to Hopper’s suspended atmospheres.”
His photography, often imbued with urban and hyperrealist influences, reveals a profound respect for his subjects: never morbid curiosity, never aesthetic complacency. Rather, it is the ability to distill the nobility of each individual, even in the most socially harsh contexts, restoring dignity and hope.”
