“Luce nel Silenzio” is an evocative exploration of the relationship between spirituality and natural elements, interpreted through the innovative photographic language of Andrea Benetti and Dario Binetti. The works, created in the magnificent Grotte di Castellana, celebrate feminine sacredness and the power of nature, embodied in symbolic figures. Each photograph, unique and unrepeatable, blends traditional techniques and contemporary innovations, employing skillfully crafted plaster bas-reliefs on canvas and high-definition prints with powdered colors polymerized using UV rays. This process creates artworks that, from a distance, appear as impeccably defined photographs, but upon closer inspection, reveal material details that amplify the dialogue between image and texture. The exhibition is a tribute to the cultural richness of Ascoli Piceno, combining artistic innovation with spirituality and a dialogue between past and present. The caves, a symbol of birth and transformation, become sacred spaces where human presence engages with nature in a silence rich with meaning.
