Artwork Description

 about this Digital Photography

In Bloom, Carla Sutera Sardo captures a woman in a mustard dress whose head blossoms into a burst of colorful balloons. Moving freely beneath an open sky, she becomes both figure and metaphor, a vision of growth, transformation, and the flowering of inner worlds.

A soft blur and halo of refracted hues surround her, as if the moment is suspended between dream and reality. The work radiates lightness and vitality, suggesting that identity, like nature, can unfold and expand into unexpected beauty.

about the artist

Carla Sutera Sardo (b. 1983, Agrigento) is an Italian photographer exploring the relationship between women and natural landscapes. She began her practice during university studies in Palermo and Rome, teaching herself through self-portraiture.

Her staged compositions balance intimacy and strength, inviting viewers into quiet, surreal moments that evoke transformation and emotional depth.

Early works focused on Sicily’s unspoiled terrain, revealing her poetic, dreamlike visual language. Her imagery suspends time, blending intimacy, femininity, and place with quiet strength.

Sutera Sardo’s photographs have appeared in L’Œil de la Photographie, Vogue Italia, and won recognition from the Sony World Photography Awards and Siena Photography Awards. She has also received the Prix de la Photographie.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in London, Paris, Florence, Turin, Palermo, Zhengzhou, Gibellina, and Slovenia. Notably, she contributed to Nomad Art Collective’s inaugural exhibitions Il Bivio: Fragmented Feminine and Il Bivio II: Sicily in Confluence.
