Nino Batista
It’s not a surprise, after all these years, that Nino summarily dropped commercial photography to focus on what he simply has to do – what he has to make. Hardly a new journey, but now a focused one that will (and already has) cost him quite a lot, he views this all as his calling, his new will, replete with the probity and sincerity that’s been dormant far too long.
A solitarian but never a misanthrope, Nino's sole purpose is the creation of beauty for beauty's sake, and to leave behind a legacy of art that perhaps, just maybe, inspires humanity to live and love.
