Guido Argentini’s "Receiving Guidance from Nature" is a stunning exploration of human form, grace, and the connection between art and nature. The image features two nude ballet dancers, their bodies entirely coated in silver paint, striking an acrobatic and symmetrical pose while wearing only pointe shoes. The dancers' bodies, elongated and sculpted, mirror each other perfectly, creating a harmonious balance of strength and elegance. The silver paint gives their forms a metallic, statuesque quality, transforming them into living sculptures that shine with a reflective, almost ethereal glow. Their ballet background is evident in the poise and precision of their pose, emphasizing both physical discipline and artistic expression. Argentini's composition draws attention to the dancers' seamless synchronization and the way their bodies interact with the space around them, evoking the idea of nature guiding and shaping their movements. The metallic sheen, combined with the delicate beauty of their ballet technique, creates a powerful visual contrast, as the dancers appear both timeless and modern, human and almost divine. This photograph is a celebration of the human body as both a physical and artistic instrument, embodying strength, fluidity, and the transformative power of dance.
Dramatic poses, tender touches, and longing glances populate Guido Argentini’s photographic landscape. The Italian star photographer, celebrated in all genres, has a particular gift for the female nude. Juxtaposing and contextualizing the female body through cityscapes and the natural environment, Argentini playfully compares color, forms, and moods. His diptychs and singles are suffused with a sense of longing and memory. From beauties in pompous buildings to bondage – the self-taught artist explores every dimension of sensuality. Eternalizing the female form in gold and silver, Argentini elevates his subjects to goddesses and mythical creatures of age-old tales.

Guido Argentini
Guido Argentini is widely known for his evocative landscapes and stylized color nude photography. The Los Angeles-based artist has freelanced for numerous magazines and has garnered acclaim for his book, Silvereye, which collects sensual photography of nude female models that have been covered in metallic chrome paint.
Born in Florence, Italy, Argentini initially studied medicine at the University of Florence. He left after three years of study to pursue an interest in photography — a passion that brought him to the United States in 1990.
Since the debut of Silvereye in 2003, Argentini has published Private Rooms, Reflections and Shades of a Woman. An admirer of performance art as well as visual art — he has drawn on sculptures by Michelangelo, Auguste Rodin and Constantin Brâncuși — Argentini explored a fusion of motion and eroticism for the images of ballet dancers that are collected in 2013’s Argentum.
Renowned publications such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Playboy have all featured Argentini’s photography. His work has been exhibited at Todd Kaplan Gallery in California, the James Gallery in Russia and elsewhere.
