Treelogy
Treelogy is a broad and solid essay on a life dedicated to dialogue with nature and more intimately with trees. The author's search sensitizes to the importance of the relationship between man and nature and, on the border between art and science, his work exalts this connection through the aesthetic beauty, the worked light and the exotic forms of different specimens of trees photographed on 5 continents.

Biography
Cristiano Xavier is a photographer from Brazil and develops a work that transits with ease through several areas of photography such as Fine art, Nature, Documental, Travel and Portraits. His works bring a style honed by field experience in the production of photographic images that build a world apart – a world invisible to less attentive eyes, which expands our understanding of creative possibilities and our perception of the artist’s interaction with his work.
