Biographical Traces: Navigating Purpose
Nicoló Brugnara's odyssey commenced in 1996 within an Italian hamlet, setting the stage for his foray into environmental science and tropical organic agriculture. However, it was during his studies in agrobiodiversity and nutrition in Kenya that he unearthed the artistic potential within photography. This realization engendered a profound connection between his mission to amplify the marginalized and the medium of visual expression.
In his own words, "I like to think of my work as a way to give a voice to the voiceless – to people, animals, plants, nature."
With the vista of his future, Nicoló envisions a symbiotic collaboration with NGOs and specialized publications, each frame a testament to his enduring commitment to advocacy.
