In the darkness, beauty

Lory Nox is a photographer from Trieste, born in 1983. He turned to photography as a child, fascinated by summer trips through Italy and Europe that allowed him to observe the variety of light and landscapes. In 2009, he embarked on a professional path that led him to explore landscape and portrait photography, with a visual language based on the harmony between nature, emotion, and suspended time.

From 2012 to 2015, he collaborated with a youth filmmakers' association, producing two photographic services for the Municipality of Trieste. In the following years, he expanded his experience in the congress and corporate events sector, while continuing to cultivate his personal research. Today, he works in the field of alternative events and participates in documentary, short film, and feature film projects, with a careful eye on visual storytelling and the evocative power of the image.

His works are inspired by the poetic vision of Michael Kenna, Fan Ho, and Kenro Izu, finding their own identity in the search for light as an emotional element and in the ability to transform reality into a visual narrative. At the same time, he produces black-and-white film photography, favoring a contemplative and artisanal approach.

Artistic Research

Lory Nox investigates the hidden essence of reality through photography, transforming light into language and silence into a story. His images are visual poems of light and shadow: contrast becomes rhythm, depth becomes breath. Through a measured use of chiaroscuro and composition, the artist evokes mental landscapes where time seems to stop and the gaze becomes intimate, contemplative.

• Light and shadow – balance between vision and mystery
• Nature and solitude – open spaces that speak to the soul
• Memory and silence – time as an emotional trace
• Figure and absence – what remains when everything dissolves

Micol Art Gallery

Within the curatorial vision of Micol Art Gallery, Lory Nox represents photography as a contemplative and poetic act. His works dialogue with space and the observer, bringing silence, light, and depth into lived environments.

“His photography does not document: it evokes. Every shot is a fragment of suspended silence, where black and white become the breath of the soul.”
