Patricia Dinu

"I left my heart in San Francisco” famous Tony Bennett sang, not so Patricia Dinu, her song is: “I lost my heart and soul in the deserts of the American Southwest."
After interviewing Patricia,Chris Gampat, editor-in-chief of Phoblographer, a British website that explores the culture and psychology of photography, writes:
"…years ago, ancient shamans used to make claims of communicating with the land and translating its tongue into a language that most of us humans could understand
– and that’s sort of what Patricia Dinu has tried to do with her landscape photography.
Immediately I fell in love with her work. She is the creator of some of the absolutely most jaw dropping black and white landscape photography I think I’ve ever seen."
Patricia Dinu at the moment lives between Italy and United States Of America.
Born in communist Romania, the fall of the Soviet Empire gave her the chance to start a successful modeling career that took her around the world.
After 10 years she felt it was time for a change.
From to 2010 to 2013 she studied both at the Italian Institute of Photography in Milano, Italy and at the Academy of Photography in New York.
In times of intensive study of photography she visited the American Southwest, where she immediately fell in love with the beauty of this country.
It is then, when Patricia Dinu began her largest body of photographic work: "The Desert Of Souls”.
It is a research project and a personal interpretation of these unique landscapes.
She has exhibited her works in exhibitions throughout various parts of the world.
Dinu has received countless national and international awards.
Asked by Chris Gampat, what she thinks that makes her unique, beautiful work signaturely hers, Patricia had a simple, yet very convincing answer:
“Mmmm…This is an important question. Thank you for the “unique” comment.
What I’m doing? I try to be myself…I am living for photography –Drawing with Light- is wonderful.”
