Artists Exploring the Nude Form
Mathilde Oscar stages poetic nude portraits that draw on Romanticism and classical painting. Using handmade sets and costumes, she blurs boundaries between eras, photography, and digital art. Her female figures, often depicted nude, appear like timeless heroines — proud, powerful, and suspended in dreamlike spaces filled with art historical echoes and surreal undertones.
Riccardo Cavallari offers a distinct perspective shaped by a rare vision disorder that prevents the convergence of images from both eyes. His work recreates this experience, overlaying ghostly silhouettes of nudes to produce haunting and captivating photographs.
Idan Wizen uses nude photography as a tool for reflection — both intimate and collective. Through bold, thought-provoking images, he questions norms, beauty standards, and the future of humanity. Influenced by philosophy, science fiction, and pop culture, his work invites viewers to confront their certainties and embrace complexity, oscillating between anger at the world and hope for its evolution.

A Brief History of Nude Photography
Nude photography emerged in the 19th century as artists sought to establish photography as a legitimate art form. Early photographers often depicted nudes in classical poses, drawing inspiration from Greco-Roman sculptures and paintings. As the medium evolved, artists began to explore more experimental approaches, emphasizing the aesthetic value of the body and differentiating their work from erotic photography.
Throughout the 20th century, photographers like Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, and Edward Weston pushed the boundaries of nude photography, using techniques such as solarization, multiple exposures, and abstract compositions to challenge traditional representations of the human form. Their work laid the foundation for contemporary artists to further explore themes of identity, sexuality, and the human experience through the lens of nude photography.
