Antonio De Luca alternates his activity as a professional photographer with that of an abstract artist, using various expressive means: from analogical to digital photography, passing through screen printing and digital image sampling techniques. At times, he creates his works by superimposing new cycles of photographs on previously rolled rolls of film and thus obtaining completely random effects of juxtaposition of different images with a post - Dadaist process. The effect is often that of a "surrealism of the everyday", which leads to reflect on the curious or incongruent aspects of reality in the era of the "disappearance of the real", now definitively replaced by the great game of virtual entertainment.
