Caravaggio Revisited

This photographic series revisits the dramatic visual language of Caravaggio, one of the most influential painters of the Baroque period. Known for his powerful chiaroscuro lighting and theatrical compositions, Caravaggio transformed religious and mythological scenes into intensely human dramas. In this reinterpretation, iconic compositions such as Judith and Holofernes and Medusa are recreated through contemporary photography. By restaging these historical images with modern performers and photographic techniques, the series bridges painting and photography, past and present. The works explore how classical masterpieces continue to influence visual culture, while also questioning authorship, authenticity, and the act of reenactment in contemporary art. Through careful lighting, staged composition, and subtle irony, the series invites viewers to reconsider the timeless power of Caravaggio’s visual storytelling.
