Photographic series and archives created by Artist Photographer Nikosono.
Transforming the arid landscape into a vibrant canvas.
Between space and emptiness.
An organic and photographic tale.
Nikosono has exhibited his work at prestigious venues worldwide, including Photo LA (California, USA), the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (Kanazawa, Japan), Photo Art Basel Fair (Switzerland), the Telstra International Fashion Festival, America Bashi Gallery (Tokyo, Japan), Brighton PhotoFringe Festival, and Lucy Bell Fine Art Photography Gallery (UK).

I found my own artistic identity in the mid-nineties . From distant Italian ancestors (used in one of the southern italian dialect « niko sono » means « I am niko »), and his activity as electronica music composer (the sound system called « sono » in a frenchie slang way); but also my love for Japanese culture (especially graphic design), this mix of ideas lead to my signature : « Nikosono ».
When I take environmental photographs, I compose an image that suggests one or more stories, fables, or abstract moments. The story is not dictated by the style.
The public (familiar with the collection) often describes Australian Biotope as “a series of photographicpaintings.” I also greatly enjoy developing humanistic photographic series, documentary in my own way.
Finally, my artistic evolution has always been punctuated by experimental projects that are very different from one another.
I develop photographic concepts using film and digital media. I am also involved in collaborative projects involving radio production, video, and graphic design. Born in 1972 in Poitiers, France, I lived in Australia for 15 years before returning to my native Poitou region in 2018.
