Shadows reveal. That secret and mysterious part we all carry within ourselves, that discreet side of our most intimate or most visible gestures is a concealed truth. Shadows and perfumes are our immaterial imprints.

Shadows are elusive yet completely familiar. They precede us, follow us, surround us and protect us by allowing us to be free to be. Shadows know all about our feelings and extend them.

Without shadows, there cannot be light ovements. Olfactory shadow is a shining enigma. Its darkness is radiant and lively. It develops in contrasts. Its notes reinforce their cheerful and bold outlines and unite their strengths. Its sillage already possesses the strength of memory.

Brazilian photographer Gustavo Pellizzon brings out the beauty of shadows; his image is a tribute to grace. This serene, relaxed man seems to have waltzed with the sun. He carried on his shoulders the firepower of stars and now surrenders to the indigo wave that brings the gentleness of sunset.

His adventure is fragrantly extreme. His power is serene. He embraces the shadow and stays in that serene and inviting space where people share secrets and bond with each other. An oasis and a secret place where anything is possible: dreams of flying to the sky or diving into the deep-sea where everything is movement and immutability; a meditation that is at once transcendental and equanimous.
