Enrico Fossati
Visual Poetry of Nature
Where landscapes become timeless symbols of beauty and sustainability. Enrico Fossati’s photography transforms nature into a living canvas of reverence and awe. From forests and rivers to mountain summits and mist-filled shores, his images move our emotions and awaken mindfulness — reminding us how precious our planet and its resources are. Rooted in sustainability, his art invites both viewers and partners to connect with the earth in meaningful, lasting ways.
Born in Novi Ligure in the Piemonte region of Italy, Enrico Fossati’s passion for landscapes took root in childhood and has grown into a lifelong pursuit of beauty and meaning. During his school years, his love of Tolkien’s writings led him to the visionary worlds of artists such as John Howe and Alan Lee, and eventually to the Hudson River School painters, whose works deeply shaped his artistic imagination.
A self-taught photographer, Fossati purchased his first DSLR to capture the Alps and alpine landscapes near his home. From those beginnings, he developed a distinctive style that blends painterly light, atmospheric moods, and mythic grandeur. Today, he travels the world in search of rare moments when nature transforms into a living canvas — inspiring viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the earth.

Philosophy
“The mountains, forests, streams, and waterfalls are my favorite subjects because they make me dream and fill me with emotion, deeply influencing my imagination and feelings,” Fossati reflects. His search for the most unique and timeless places on earth drives him into remote landscapes where patience, passion, and resilience reveal extraordinary beauty.
Hiking for weeks into wild mountain landscapes, he embraces solitude and harsh conditions to capture those rare, breathtaking moments that nature offers only to those who wait. Each photograph is more than an image — it is a meditation on wonder, silence, and reverence for the living earth.
As viewers journey into Fossati’s profound collections — from deep forests and majestic summits to cascading rivers and luminous lakes — they are invited to pause, reflect, and reconnect. His work awakens mindfulness, reminding us that nature’s ancient world has rooted itself in our collective imagination for centuries, and still calls us to protect it today.
Fossati’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that nature is not only a subject but also a teacher. Each image is a dialogue with the landscape — an invitation to slow down, breathe, and listen to the silence of the earth. Above all, his work reminds us that protecting these places is both a responsibility and a privilege, ensuring that their timeless beauty endures for future generations.
