A man and a gentleman’s thought<\/b><\/p>\n

by Giovanni Gastel<\/p>\n

Roger Corona’s universe is made of rigor and elegance; it is generated by an introverted and refined soul, tormented by the creative insecurity that is the hallmark of a true, profound artist.<\/p>\n

I have known Roger since the 1980s, when he abandoned everything and everybody, followed his love for photography and came to bubbly Milan, where a “renaissance of style” was underway, to use a description by the philosopher Francesco Alberoni.<\/p>\n

He arrived at my studio at Donna Magazine with two suitcases full of dreams and pluck, and my fondness of him began \u2013 and never stopped. Bravely and with a sense of humor (always a sign of intelligence), he went through a tough but necessary period of apprenticeship.<\/p>\n

I witnessed his photography becoming surer and more personal by the day.<\/p>\n

Fashion, still lifes, beauty, erotic nudes and portraits were borne of this extraordinary creative genesis that was somehow always marked by a successful attempt to build and grow. As necessary for every creative person, his vision of the world became increasingly individualistic and diverse. With great and deep affection, I followed his search for himself and his uniqueness as his quest gradually became more precise and engrossing.<\/p>\n

And now, before my admiring eyes, here he is opening a portfolio to show me this magical series of male and female nudes. In the stark yet warm cleanliness of these studies of the body (and soul, I might add), I see with extreme joy the reaching of a pureness in message and form that make me truly happy and proud of the creative and human path that “my” Roger has walked.<\/p>\n

The lines in his bodies are really the lines of his thought as a man and gentleman. They contain sensuality and at the same time respect for the human being.<\/p>\n

Observe these images as you would an interior biography of him as an author; try to “recreate” with him (and thanks to him) the travels of your inner memories.<\/p>\n
