A rich heritage of migration combined with a profound dedication to the visual arts shapes the creative voice of Luciano Cagliardi (aka LUC14N0 C4GL14RD1). While photography remains his primary medium of expression, his artistic pursuits also extend to visual design and fashion. His work intertwines storytelling and documentary, marked by an unfiltered authenticity born from personal experiences and artistic influences.

His journey into photography began as a self-taught, sparked by early encounters with a camera thanks to his father. As a teenager, it became a tool and source of income, leading him to photograph social events such as weddings and quinceañeras, while simultaneously documenting the vibrant independent music scene in Berisso and La Plata, the cities where he grew up.

Through various courses, he discovered photojournalism and documentary photography, inspiring him to create his first series, document his travels, and participate in open calls. Studies in photojournalism and training at the Arts University of La Plata (Argentina) enriched his vision and helped him refine his style.

In 2022, his interests in sustainability, handwork, and fashion culminated in the creation of Paseo030: an upcycling project based in Berlin, Germany, where he now lives. This initiative exemplifies his ability to weave creativity with purpose, reflecting his evolving artistic narrative.
