Callas is a series of close-up photographs made over several years and shown publicly for the first time at Clio 2026. The work sits within a practice concerned with what is being lost — species, cultures, people in transit — but turns that concern inward.
Here the subject is the flower at its fullest, photographed in the brief interval before decay becomes visible. The images refuse the symbolic weight traditionally assigned to the calla lily. They hold the flower as form, as light, as temporary fact.
Photographed against deep black grounds, lit to isolate the spathe and stem from context. Movement is allowed into the frame; focus is selective. Quiet confrontations with presence and its limit.
Tiered pricing: prints 1–3 at $2,800 · prints 4–5 at $3,400 · prints 6–7 at $4,000. Price rises as the edition sells.
Marco Domeniconi was born in Livorno, Italy in 1962. After a classical education, years of wandering, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Hunter College, a sabbatical put a camera back in his hands and then a brush. He has never held an art degree. He considers that the entire point.
He has exhibited at the XI Florence Biennale, the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, and the Clio Art Fair. He works in photography and in acrylic, latex, and enamel on canvas from Short Hills, New Jersey.
