Nicola Vinci is a photographer born in Castellaneta (Taranto), Italy, in the 1975, and he is graduated in Visual Arts from the Academy of fine Arts of Bari, Italy.

Nicola Vinci is one of the most lyrical and narrative Italian photographers, internationally known and followed by more careful criticism. The works of the series "Storie" ("Stories") are realized in 2013 and composed of ten environments of deep and disturbing poem, where two children are questioning the observer, asking in a gentle way the mystery of life, the feelings of the beginning and of the end of things. Questions that only children could make, with rooms full of suspended time, between objects that tell a story intimate and elusive, yet known to all: that the life of every day, full of spirituality and poetry. Each photo is made with true Giclèe print and mounted on dibond; another cycle is entitled "Il Nodo"("The Knot"): the photographs are arranged in a composition of several pieces, to form landscapes as fragments of glances and places, once again intended to question the public on the significance of time and space through the vision of environments, the streets, the skies and details that we look and life every day.
