Tatiana Cardellicchio - The Flower Keeper

In The Flower Keeper, the portrait and the still life seem to belong to a single presence. The black calla lilies symbolically abandon the vase and rest on the eyes of the figure, turning the concealment of the gaze into a guarding gesture. A twin to Stolen Flower, the work links theft and possession, body and ornament, beauty and control. The woman does not observe the flowers: she integrates them and becomes their silent guardian. THE SERIES The work belongs to the series “Petal Dictatorship – The Aesthetic Regime,” an autobiographical and conceptual photographic project by Tatiana Cardellicchio. In the series, flowers — traditionally associated with grace, femininity, and decoration — transform into devices of control. Through carefully crafted self-portraits, the artist investigates the pressure exerted on the female body by aesthetic ideals and the constant demand to surveil, correct, and shape one’s own image. The project explores the tension between imposed identity and image, seduction and coercion, intimacy and spectacle, conformity and resistance. The face is often hidden or replaced by flowers: beauty thus ceases to be a mere ornament and takes the form of a regime. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Digital photography, printed and signed in 2026.

Bio Tatiana Cardellicchio is an Italian visual artist and photographer whose gaze is nourished by the light of Southern Italy, transformed into poetic matter. Her research investigates the relation between body, identity, nature, and gaze, focusing on how identity is modeled, masked, and negotiated through aesthetic codes. She graduated in Photography from the Italian Institute of Photography and builds narratives suspended between aesthetics and awareness. Through self-portraiture and staged scenes, she uses the body as subject and material, turning photography into a space of inquiry rather than mere representation. Her work explores the tension between beauty and power, ornament and resistance, surface and depth. Flowers, fabrics, light, and symbolic objects recur as visual devices that appear decorative but reveal mechanisms of control, visibility, and transformation. Her images invite slowness, listening, and attention, questioning how bodies are seen, inhabited, and understood. In 2025 she was named Floral Artist of the Year 2025, with publication by Artist of the Year Award, and she received the IPFA Award 2025 – Awarded Solo Exhibition, with a solo show in Brazil in 2026. In 2026 she also received the First Prize at the Motif Collective Photo Contest – Reflection. In 2024 she received the Silver Medal at the Prix de la Photographie Paris in the Portrait/Self-Portrait category for the project Impact. Her works have been exhibited in international contexts, including ImageNation Paris, London, and New York, as well as in festivals, galleries, and museums such as Paratissima, the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, Medina Roma, and the Christos Kapralos Museum in Greece. Her practice defines a coherent and recognizable poetics, moving between self-representation, emotional ecology, and aesthetic identity.
