Timeline

1959

Born in Bastia, France

Winner of international competitions and twice finalist of the prestigious Master Hasselblad competition in 2012 and 2018, Antoine Buttafoghi has exhibited his work in France, Luxembourg, Japan, Hungary, the United Kingdom, India, Italy and Brazil. Consultant and Professor at the University of Corsica Pascale Paoli, he has been teaching photography and associated techniques for over 20 years. He has worked regularly with the magazine “Création Numérique” as a specialized journalist.

Antoine Buttafoghi’s photographs are impeccably composed around the human form in all its diversity, connected with its environment or not, and he plays with colour contrasts through a graphic style. Highly restrained, his photos depict a “unique” human being who seems lost in the vastness of the world; a testimony to an aesthetic consent to our attachment to the earthly, the passage of time and the singularity of the Human Being at the heart of the world. The artist captures the ephemeral with a perfect mastery of harmony, in the search for a certain equilibrium, his own included.
