Please welcome to our show internationally-acclaimed photographer, artist, and
author Claudio Santini, whose thought-provoking work has inspired much reflection.
When I visited Claudio in his Los Angeles studio recently, I felt I was in the presence
of a true genius. His work spoke to me, including his latest collection, focused on
capturing a quiet mental state to inspire a better humanity. Today, we'll speak to
Claudio about his life and work, including an exhibit in Naples, Italy, currently running
through December.

Claudio was born and raised in Rome, Italy, and developed an early passion for
photography. He started his career as an architectural photographer, later exploring
the intersection of photography and painting through mixed media. Upon moving to
Los Angeles, his work was featured in the New York Times, LA Times, and Domus.
You've likely seen his work featured in major magazines, too.

And in a world focused on Ai, I wanted to showcase the work of someone inspired by
everyday events, people, and nature. Claudio captures the humanity of life just that
way, pure and innocent, with texture.

Please enjoy my full conversation with Claudio Santini on all video and audio
platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and the

welcome you here.
