Old Shoes - Black & White Digital Photography on Hahnemuhle Cotton Paper 20'' x 28'' Italian artist Alberto Quoco’s expressive photographs speak of an aesthetic fervor for the sensations of motion, stillness and time. In his early work as a dance photographer, he experimented with photography’s expressive possibilities in creating meaning as well as suggesting silent narratives. Since then, his work has explored the beauty created when light and shadow meet by capturing stunning architectural images, sensitive and penetrating portraiture, dramatic nature scenes and figurative works which range in mood from contemplative to erotic, from pensive to serene.
Alberto’s style varies according to his subject matter. Some of his work follows a realist tradition, focusing in vivid detail on everyday objects and elevating them to meaningful aesthetic themes. His work is also dreamlike, with time and motion appearing to stand still while the tactile qualities of the material world gain a transcendent luminosity.

Throughout the wide range of his styles, his work consistently conveys messages of strength, fragility, nostalgia, or festivity. Wherever his aesthetic muse takes him, Alberto’s lens is always able to draw out of the visual world, the mystery that is sometimes hidden from plain view. Alberto Quoco’s work captures the unique visual moment, and his work invites us to explore what he presents to us, as well as what he inspires in us.
