About this Piece: Akiyoshido, Japan’s largest and longest limestone cave. At the break of dawn, it’s as if the stream in front of the cave is cloaked in a magical and silent and mystical veil.
Artist Statement:
In a world that moves too quickly, the simple act of observing is a form of rebellion Bio Davide Soliani is an Italian video game creative director known for his work in the gaming industry. Born on December the 1st in 1972, Soliani developed a passion for video games at a young age, which eventually led him to pursue a career in game development.
Soliani gained widespread recognition for his work as the creative director of the critically acclaimed video game “Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.” Developed by Ubisoft Milan in collaboration with Nintendo in Japan, the game combined the iconic characters from Nintendo’s Mario franchise with Ubisoft’s mischievous Rabbids characters in a turn-based tactical adventure game. Soliani played a pivotal role in shaping the game’s unique blend of humor, strategy, and engaging gameplay, earning praise from both players and critics alike. While his career in video game development demands precision, efficiency, and speed, Soliani seeks refuge in the deliberate, unhurried process of photography. For him, the act of taking a photograph is not merely about capturing an image; it’s about embracing the pause before the click of the shutter.
